Scores of staff and students of University of Cape Coast (UCC) have embarked on a health walk through the principal streets of the University to enhance the health of participants.

The walk forms part of events for UCC@60 anniversary celebrations which started on April 3, 2022 to be climaxed on October 20, 2022.

The walk afforded staff and students the platform to fraternise and socialise, as well as promote healthy lifestyle amongst them.

Dressed in their UCC@60 T-shirts, the participants in the walk, led by the Registrar, Mr. Jeff Onyame, commenced at the Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Adow Obeng Administration Block through the University Practice Senior High School and ended at the forecourt of the Emmanuel Adow Obeng Administration Block.

Some participants engaged in aerobics session after the walk

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Onyame explained that the event was to improve the health of staff and students and to create awareness of the forthcoming anniversary of the University.

He called on Ghanaians to prioritise their health by exercising regularly and thanked the participants for the massive turnout. The Registrar stressed the need for participants to exercise regularly and adopt a healthy lifestyle that would give them a sound mind in a sound body.

After the walk, participants were engaged in fun activities including aerobics.
