That's a wrap! We had the perfect day to enjoy our fall Pack the Track!

It was so great to see so many employees and students get out and enjoy this beautiful day and get in some midday exercise with one another. 😎

EKU Employee Wellness, Campus Rec and BluMine were all happy to serve and to cheer you on while you went the distance.

Thank you to all who attended and, as always, we look forward to our next big event!

Today is Pack the Track!!! 😎

It is a beautiful day to get outside and have some fun on campus! EKU Employee Wellness, Campus Rec and BluMine will all be at the track from 10am-1pm to cheer on all who attend and get some laps in around the track.

We will have oranges, bananas, Gatorade, water and snack bars to help fuel your walk or run with your fellow colleagues. Each lap around the track equals the number of times that your name will go into a prize drawing. All who attend will walk away with fun swag! 😍

We hope to see you today and high five you on a workout complete! 🤩
