The Fall Duke Run/Walk Club Starts August 12
The Duke Run/Walk Club is a group of Duke employees who gather together for support and coaching to help reach their fitness goals by walking, running, or a combination of both.
Groups gather at West Campus' Al Buehler Trail, East Campus at the Wall, across from the HR Building (705 Broad St), and at the Duke Raleigh Gardens. East and West Campus groups meet at 5:30 p.m. on Monday and Wednesdays. Duke Raleigh meets on Thursdays at 11:30 a.m. Groups can expect a casual and fun environment with gentle motivation and support for success.
If you can't make group meetings, choose a fitness level that works best for you and participate by doing the workouts on your own.
