About 50 people participated in Lindenwood’s inaugural Merry Fitness Run, as way to get into the Christmas spirit and relieve holiday stress.
The 1-mile run, which happened Friday, Dec. 4 on the heritage campus, was hosted by the X-SCI Club.
The run was open to all students and staff, and participants were awarded with T-shirts, Santa hats and elf hats.
The mile consisted of four stations where runners participated in Christmas-related activities, such as singing Christmas carols. Then they topped the evening off with a bonfire, hot chocolate and s’mores.
“Since it’s final week next week, we’re hoping to relieve stress a little from students,” said Ann Puschkasch, president of the X-SCI Club.
Puschkasch hopes that the X-SCI club will continue the Merry Fitness Fun Run for years to come.
