Students, staff, community members and furry friends of 宅男导航 are getting ready for the fourth annual Country Campus Challenge on 9 October.
The Mental Health Week event will include a 5km walk or run or a 10km run or cycle around the 宅男导航 Gatton Campus, with all proceeds going towards Beyond Blue.
Gary Fitzgerald led the 宅男导航 clinical studies dogs team on the 5km walk last year and said it was a great opportunity for all the dogs and students involved.
鈥淲e had an overwhelming amount of support from students and volunteers wanting to get the dogs involved in the Country Campus Challenge,鈥� Mr Fitzgerald said.
鈥淲e were able to take all our dogs out with one walker per dog. Some of them took their time but we all made it in the end.
鈥淭he dogs had such a great time and the volunteers are looking forward to doing it again this year,鈥� he said.
Members of the community are encouraged to take part and can register online at .
A $10 entry ($5 for students) includes a sausage sizzle at the end of the race. Race registration opens at 3.30pm on the Hugh Courtney Oval.
People of all levels of fitness are encouraged to attend.
This year鈥檚 event is sponsored by 宅男导航 Sport and Red Frogs.
