Joggin' with Josh
SMHS Dean Joshua Wynne starts the race
Thursday, Sept. 9, 2021
Virtual 5K/10K
Each fall, Joshua Wynne, M.D., M.B.A., M.P.H., UND vice president for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine & Health Sciences, invites all UND students, faculty, staff and community members to advocate healthful lifestyles by joining him for Joggin’ with Josh, an informal 5K or 10K walk, jog or run. This free public event started in 2010.
Being mindful of the ongoing pandemic, we are tentatively scheduling this outdoor event for Sept. 9, 2021. Participants will still be asked to come to the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences for the event, and will receive a complimentary t-shirt or tank top upon arrival. But participants need not congregate with a group for the walk/run and are encouraged to set out in a physically-distanced way.
Social Challenge
Share your photos before, during and after the event by posting to your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts using the #jogginwjosh hashtag. All participants who do this will go into a drawing for a Garmin VivoSport!
SMHS Department Challenge
In 2019, we implemented an SMHS Department challenge, and the Department of Physical Therapy edged the Medicine program by just a few participants! All SMHS participants identify their programs when they register. The group with the most participants wins a prize!
