A walk/run/roll session in 2025.
ECU Active is a relaxed, low-commitment program designed to help students and staff move more, more often. Launched in 2025, it brings recreation and informal activity to the forefront—making it easy to get involved, try something new, and stay active around uni life.
In 2025, ECU Active piloted initiatives such as a walk/run/roll group and a collaboration with Portside Boulders, alongside other drop-in campus activations.
ECU Active is free and open to all students and staff.
