Description:

The AU Wellness Committee is excited to announce this year's "Trek to the North Pole Challenge"! This challenge will begin on December 1st and run until December 21st.

Get yourself and your colleagues (up to 10 per team) signed up for this fun activity as we walk to the North Pole for a peek at Kris Kringle and then head back home!

Remember the trek includes weekend activities, so get out there and get active! With the recent dumps of snow, this year's trek could be done by ski, snowshoe or sled (reindeer optional :)
