Walking, Running and Biking
Walking for Wellness
Join us for our summer series of Walking for Wellness! Starting on July 5th, we will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:30 pm on the Drexel Recreation Center Fitness Plaza; in the event of rain, walks will be held in the Recreation Center basketball courts. Walks will last about a half-hour (approx. 1 mile) to start, and gradually increase the time/distance to 45 minutes/approx. 1.5 miles over the course of the summer. Fruit and water will be provided after the Tuesday walks.
Just a half-hour of walking can yield immense benefits for your physical and emotional health. Don't miss out on this opportunity to get outside during your lunch break and enjoy some fresh air, good company, and some delicious fresh fruit!
If you have any questions about the "Healthier U" Walking Club, or would like to be a walk leader, please email healthieru@drexel.edu.

The Drexel Running Company
The Drexel Running Company fosters an environment where runners can grow together and be comfortable at the same time. We aim to provide room for growth and times when runners can push themselves when they feel ready.
