UC Agriculture and Natural Resources is hosting UC ANR Walks on Wednesday, May 12, at 10 a.m.

As a virtual walk, all ANR employees are invited to participate in this annual community-building event by walking – outdoors or indoors – or engaging in another form of exercise such as yoga to promote a healthy active lifestyle.

UC ANR promotes wellness by encouraging employees to take time out of their day to be physically active. As a UC ANR sponsored event, UC ANR Walks allows everyone to get together, be physical active, have some fun and hopefully is the catalyst for all of us to be more physically active.

Grab your walking shoes, water bottle, hat and sunscreen, and join your UC ANR colleagues as we take a walk break for good health and community. Make your walk an adventure by playing Walking BINGO along the way.

You can join the live event at 10 a.m. via Zoom. The Program Support Unit will send an email containing the Zoom link.

A stretching coach will lead light and fun stretching before your 30-minute walk or yoga session. After you walk or do yoga, rejoin the group online to do cool-down stretches to avoid injuries and to share comments about the exercise.

Photo Contest! Take photos and videos along your walk. Share your walk experience through real-time videos and photos during the virtual Zoom event. Enter a photo in the category of nature, fashion or urban point of interest. Photo winners will get a signed UC WALKS t-shirt, water bottle and fanny pack. 

Enter the UC ANR Staff Assembly Wellness Committee raffle by doing the following:

• Complete this survey after the walk.
• Promote your walk on social media (Facebook, Instagram or Twitter) using the hashtags #UCANRmoves and #ucwalks2021.
