Move with CENTRAL

The fall of 2023 is going to be all about health for CENTRAL. Mark your calendars because on the 1st of October 2023 we will start with the largest collaborative project for CENTRAL to this date. A 2558 km distance will be covered by our friends of CENTRAL and anyone who is interested in challenging themselves or would like to just use the opportunity to get moving. Join us in a virtual walk or run. The distances will be added up until we reach the goal of finishing a round trip to all CENTRAL University-Cities. We will dedicate this event not only to the promotion of physical but also mental health!

Participants will be able to use the app STRAVA. The online event RUN and WALK with CENTRAL will be created via this app. Participants can start to record their preparation runs starting on 1st October. The main event will be happening on 10th October. Each kilometer will be counted. We will acknowledge the best runners, the best walkers as well as the most active institution.

Join us!

Try mindful runs or walks. Challenge yourself but focus on listening to what your body needs. Also check in with your physician if you have any concerns or predispositions.
Get moving and let us know how you are doing! Let’s share tips on how to stay motivated.
