On Tuesday 31 March more than 600 staff and students took advantage of the fabulous weather to participate in the Monash Global Walk/Run.
Monash hosted the event, and students and staff were able to walk or run their way across all Monash campuses and sites in support of the work of Andrology Australia in funding men's health programs and education initiatives.
The event, presented by Wellbeing at Monash, together with Team Monash and Monash Sport provided a great opportunity for staff and students to come together and participate in a step toward better health.
Participants at Clayton warmed up to music on the Menzies lawn with Caroline Lawrence of Monash Sport. Martin Doulton, the walk guide for this years event then led participants through the campus, showcasing the Rainforest Walk and the residential lake.
The event was appreciated at other sites also, with Caulfield campus seeing their highest participation to date with more than 60 people taking part.
