This walk blends movement and wellbeing with practical information — from personal safety tips to emergency contacts — all shared in a casual, conversational format as you walk.

Perfect for new and returning students looking to explore the campus while becoming more confident in their surroundings.

Event Weather Policy:

UTM Walks are designed to be enjoyable and accessible outdoor experiences. As such, walks will be cancelled in the event of rain, snow, or other inclement weather that may impact safety or comfort. Weather-related cancellations will be shared by email and posted on Instagram (@utm_athletics) at least one hour before the scheduled walk. We encourage participants to check for updates before heading out and to dress appropriately for seasonal conditions.
