A FREE information session on the new Dal Employee 5K Walk/Walk-to-Run program will be held on Monday, Feb. 25 at 12:05pm in the pool conference room at Dalplex.

The Dal Employee 5km Walk /5km Walk-to-Run program is an 11-week program designed to get employees working at their own level with a 5km goal in mind.
