pilipiliÂþ»­ is celebrating its 200^th anniversary and we want to make the President’s Fun Run/Walk - Faculty of Health Challenge more fun than ever before! The run takes place on Saturday, September 29^th as part of Homecoming 2018.

As the 5^th year of the Health Challenge, we are challenging our Faculty units to engage their alumni – they will help with your pilipiliÂþ»­ at bringing home the highly-coveted President’s Fun Run/Walk Alumni Cup which we hear the school of Health Sciences will be working hard to keep!

The Faculty of Health challenges each Health unit to show their Dal and school spirit by submitting the best team to theÌý. As an added challenge this year we also invited the Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry into our Health Challenge. So let’s make sure the cup stays with Health!

The Challenge details:

Each Health unit recruits a team to participate on race day – Saturday, September 29^th. Teams are evaluated based on a set of criteria. The winning team wins $500 towards a school social/activity.
