Did you miss the ice climbing competition?  No worries, you have another chance to go!  The University of Northern Iowa’s 80 feet of world class ice is awaiting your challenge.  Saturday and Sunday we will spend the day ice climbing.  We will also visit other recreational activities that UNI’s recreation center offers.  No ice climbing experience is necessary, only a good attitude and willingness to try something new.

Cycle to Florida (February 1- February 29)

Spring Break is coming up; everyone is working on getting fit for their swimwear! We came up with an appropriate Muscle of the Month idea to set the mood! Cycle to Florida! Cycle to Florida will last all the way until the end of February. Our challenge will be, as a group, complete enough miles to make it to all the way to Florida. Individually, whoever completes the most miles will be the winner for that month, one male and one female.  You can participate as many times as you want through February, on any bike we provide in the Fitness Center!

Male and Female winners will receive a $15 gift card and there will be three raffle prize winners, each winning $10 gift cards. 

Directions:

  • Notify fitness center staff before you start the competition.
  • Exercise on a bike as long as you want.
  • Once finished, notify a fitness center staff to look at the mileage on the bike so they can record it for you.

We are only going to track full miles. For example, if you bike for 3.5 miles, then it will be counted as 3.
