Healthy Homecoming Walk

Swap screen fatigue for fresh air and Homecoming spirit at MSU's 11th annual “Healthy Homecoming Walk”. 

Walk or roll laps to push MSU to the top of the global university leaderboard, and – if you are an MSU employee - compete against fellow Spartans! This drop-in, physical activity event easily fits into your day. Fit in a lap between classes, take a quick movement break, or turn a routine check-in into a team-building activity. 

As you re-energize and make your way around Dem Hall Field: 

• Due to unforeseen circumstances, the blood drive that was previously scheduled for this event has been canceled
• Snag free swag and chances to win prizes: Score free merch from campus well-being resources and enter to win prizes from our event donors.
• Drop by our Resource Fair (11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.): Discover campus well-being resources, perks, and student groups.
• Enjoy high-energy music: Provided by Impact 89FM (visit Impact 89FM’s website).
• Games and more: Challenge your friends to yard games, fitness stations, and more. 

As you walk or roll around the field, you can enter your distance covered in our movement challenge with other Exercise is Medicine on Campus® universities across the globe. MSU employees may also choose to compete against other Spartans in our teams challenge.
