Move Communities and Maps
This is a unique opportunity for us to build our “move” communities here at Kent State University. Do you have a walking date and meeting spot you launch from weekly? Have a running or 5K you’re preparing for and looking for a running mate? Are you a rock-climbing enthusiast or have an interest in learning how to rock climb? Perhaps you are a lunchtime stroller, morning swimmer, or bike rider who would welcome and enjoy like individuals. We welcome all “movers” from all campuses to share opportunities to join you. Below you will find groups and individuals that meet regularly and welcome others who may be interested.
As a tool for our movers, we have included a printable map with seven routes ranging from quarter-mile to 3-mile for the Kent campus and have also included a non-marked map for individuals that might like to map their own unique routes and share with our community. If you have a map or community that you would like to add to this page, please email wellness@kent.edu.
We can all help build a healthy campus one “step” at a time.
