Staying active over vacation
Whether you're staying on campus, in the local area, or are returning to your hometown, there's plenty of ways to keep active over the vacation! Our Sports Centre have put together some ideas for you.
Use outdoor gym equipment
If you're staying on or close to campus, we have a range of outdoor gym equipment at the Sports Centre. The equipment is free to use and can be found near the running track.
There are also outdoor table tennis table at the Students' Union and Horwood Hall.
Walking and running routes on campus
Whether you want to take a walk to clear your head, or kickstart your fitness, our walking and running routes are the perfect place to begin. There are a variety of routes available, focussing on different areas of campus and ranging from 1km to 12km - so there really is something for everyone! AND if you're looking for a real challenge, add the routes together and you've got yourself a marathon!
Join Keele running on Strava
If you're looking to become part of a community of runners, join the Keele Running group on the Strava app! You can see routes other members have completed, meet people to go running with, and find motivation to push yourself and achieve new goals.
The Active Keele team will be hosting a virtual 5k through this Strava group on Sunday 20th April. The 5k can be completed anywhere, just join the group using the link above to get involved!
Easter Hunt - 18th-21st April 2025
The Sports Centre will be closed over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, 18th-21st April 2025. To help you get out and about and stay active, the team will be running an Easter Hunt around campus. Use the map on the Sports Centre door to find letters around campus which spell out a word and will tell you where the Easter Bunny is hiding! Make sure to take a picture with the Bunny and share on social media, tagging @sport_keele!

If you are staying on campus over the spring vacation - 7th-28th April 2025 - pick up an activity box from the Sports Centre reception to help you stay active. Boxes are available until 5pm on Thursday 17th April. Please make sure you return the boxes by Friday 2nd May.
