Regarding the event, Mathis said, “It’s a great way for students, faculty and staff to get together to enjoy our beautiful campus.”

Registration took place at 1:45 p.m., and Walk/Run began at 2 p.m. It is a 1.85 mile walk around the Paris Lake.

Donald Green, the president of GHC, also participated in event. He said, “I am proud of all the participants of the Turkey Day Run/Walk. It does not surprise me that we had so many participants. It shows that GHC is a fitness focused culture and it is a great way to start a fit and healthy holiday season.”

Green mentioned that GHC recently won third place in the Fall Fitness Challenge against other schools and universities in the University System of Georgia.
