Laugh your way around Ring Road

For those of you who can laugh and walk at the same time, the theme of this year’s President’s Fitwalk, slated for Thursday, June 13, is “Health Through Humour.” Participants should meet at noon at the University Centre in preparation for the 60-minute walk around the Ring Road. Walkers are encouraged to be creative and dress for the theme. “Just keep it in good taste, have fun with it, and make us laugh,” say organizers. There’ll be a team spirit award and draw prizes. If you can’t make it on the 13th, you can still do your own walk around the Ring Road anytime before June 12 — register at the athletics and recreational services office in McKinnon. For more information contact Kathi Cameron at 721-8721.
