Are you looking for a fun way to increase your physical activity this year?
Take part in the annual Walk for Joy, a nine-week walking and activity challenge amongst members of the UBC community. Participate individually or in a team of five – this year there are some very exciting prize options!
What is Walk for Joy?
Walk for Joy (formerly known as Walkabout) is an annual challenge that strives to promote regular physical activity in social settings. It was designed and launched in 2005 by the late Dr. Joy Butler of the Faculty of Education, UBC. Walk for Joy is a partnership initiative with UBC Recreation and UBC Human Resources. Last year, the name of the program was changed from its original “Walkabout” to commemorate Dr. Butler.
Numerous community partners provide prizes for Walk for Joy participants and those who complete extra challenges! Walk for Joy is open to all UBC students, staff, faculty, and community members.
