During the four-week challenge, 14 teams of students, faculty and staff walked a total of 4,738 miles — almost double their goal of walking the 2,400-mile span of U.S. Route 66. Participants were provided with a map and information about various sites they would see while virtually walking the iconic route.
Penn State Wilkes-Barre has set its sights on prioritizing the health and wellness of the campus community, with help from a partnership with Penn State LionPulse, an initiative of Penn State PRO Wellness. The campus’ efforts recently included a LionPulse wellness challenge, where 41 community members competed to see who could walk the farthest and if, collectively, they could walk the entire distance of U.S. Route 66.
