Walker on gravel path

Walk This Way

Walking a little can go a long way. Just 30 minutes a day can help you burn fat and lose weight. Check out our 1,2 and 3-mile campus walking maps. If the winter weather makes setting a brisk, safe pace a challenge, head to the indoor track at the Veale Recreation Center for a mid-day walk.
