Subcommittee Description:

The Healthy UND Physical Activity Subcommittee is dedicated to promoting and providing opportunities and infrastructure for physical activity that are safe and accessible for the UND community.

Healthy Campus Challenge

The Healthy Campus Challenge is put on by the Healthy UND Physical Activity Subcommittee. The challenge is designed to get more people exercising in ways that are convenient and fun for them. The challenge will run the entire academic year and is open to all faculty, staff, and students of UND and registration for each event will occur when the event takes place.

At the end of the year, we'll crown Healthy UND Physical Activity Champions to those that participate and complete the most events.
