Tunnel Walk Sponsored by getfit

Want to get exercise mid-day but don’t want to go outside? Join the tunnel walk for a 30-minute walk led by a volunteer through MIT’s famous tunnel system*. This walk may include stairs/inclines. Wear comfortable shoes. Free.
Location details: Meet in the lobby under the “Belonging + Community” banner.
Tunnel Walk Leaders will have a white flag they will raise at the meeting spot for you to find them.
Special 20th Anniversary Prize Drawing: Attend a walk and scan a QR code from the walk leaders to be entered into a drawing for a getfit backpack at the end of the getfit challenge. The more walks you attend, the more entries you get. Winner will be drawn and notified at the end of April. Winner does not need to be a getfit participant.
*When the weather is nice, walk leaders may offer to walk outside rather than through the tunnels. The majority vote of the group will decide whether the walk is indoors or outdoors.
Disclaimer: Tunnel walks are led by volunteers. In the rare occasion when a volunteer isn’t able to make it, we will do our best to notify participants. In the event we are unable to notify participants and a walk leader does not show up, we encourage you to walk as much as you feel comfortable doing so. We encourage you to check the website just before you head out!
Getfit is a 12-week fitness challenge for the entire MIT community. These tunnel walks are open to the entire MIT community and you do not need to be a current getfit participant to join.
