Okanagan Campus

Vancouver and Okanagan Campus

Walk for Joy (formerly Walkabout), is a 9 week walking, rolling and physical activity challenge designed to get people moving, reduce sedentary time and promote community connection. This challenge is open to all UBC/UBCO students, staff, faculty, and community members. A large emphasis is placed on being social while completing physical activity, so find a friend to get moving with! Participants can join with up to a 5 member team or participate individually, and will try to accumulate as many steps during each week. Bonus “social steps” are given for any physical activities done with another WFJ participant. A step leaderboard will be updated weekly, so you can track your progress and keep an eye on how your team is doing!
