For January and February, we will be walking around the top of the Ice Hockey Arena for 30 minutes - indoors, out of the elements!

You can park your car in the parking lot to the west of the Class of 1965 Arena (between the arena and Andy Kerr Stadium).

A Word About Walking
Stepping away from your desk and joining others in Colgate's Walking Club is an important practice because it provides a much-needed mental break, boosts productivity and creativity, and offers a wonderful opportunity to socialize and connect with colleagues.

Why Walk Breaks?

• Recharge your energy: A short walk can provide an instant energy boost, helping you stay productive and focused throughout the day.
• Mental clarity: stepping away from your desk and enjoying some fresh air can clear your mind and reduce stress.
• Social connection: walking with others is a great opportunity to connect with colleagues, make new friends, and build a sense of community.
• Improved health: regular walks can contribute to better physical fitness and overall health.
