Wellness Wednesday: Corporate Cycling Challenge Sunday

With the event set for Sunday, these are the final days to sign up for the Omaha Corporate Cycling Challenge.

The event is free for employees to participate, and it costs $5 for family members to ride. In 2012, the med center signed up 215 riders; organizers this year want to exceed that number.

“This is a great event for families and recreational riders,” said team captain Peter Pellerito. “The different distances and the non-competitive ride makes it a good fit for everyone — and for you competitive riders, the more med center riders and family members who participate, the better our chances to win the corporate challenge.”

Download a registration form. Participants can register up to the day of the event.

New fitness event scheduled to begin next week

On Aug. 23, UNMC will hold its inaugural Fitness Friday, a twice-monthly outdoor fitness event to be held at the Bill and Ruth Scott Student Plaza.

The inaugural event will feature yoga. Future activities may include pilates, jump roping, group walks or Zumba.

Please contact the UNMC events coordinator if you are able to attend, would like more information, or have an interest in teaching a future class.
