It's time for the annual campus fun walk
It is that time again: time to put on your running shoes and take part in the annual fun walk hosted by the SU Wellness Division. This 5km fun walk takes place on Friday 1 April 2016 and will start at 13:30 at the Coetzenburg Sports ground (see entry form below).The Wellness Division is already hosting this event since 2012 to encourage staff and students to live healthily.Ms Maureen Kennedy, Manager: Employee Wellness in the Division of Human Resources, says this is one of their efforts to invest in the health of our staff. According to Kennedy annual health screenings shows that staff, in general, is not active enough and does not (amongst other criteria) meet the one criteria for a healthy lifestyle, which is exercising for at least 150 minutes (or more) per week."An event of this nature gives staff the opportunity to actively participate and engage with colleagues and enables them to enjoy a fun filled wellness activity. This can have a positive impact on their physical and social wellbeing," Kennedy said.
