Dear Alumni

When we floated the idea for a virtual running event that would bring together the Harvard community and raise money for financial aid, I had no idea that it would gain momentum so quickly. Since launching registration just over a week ago, more than 800 alumni and Harvard community members from 53 countries and 40 states have signed up to complete a 5K (their way!) between November 12 and 16. Will you join us?

 
Harvard Moves: 5K Your Way
November 12–16, 2020
Register Now
My research and the classes I teach at Harvard focus on how and why the human body looks and functions the way it does. I am especially interested in how evolutionary and anthropological approaches to physical activities such as walking and running, as well as changes to our body’s environment, can help better prevent and treat diseases.

More recently, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about the challenges of being physically active during this pandemic. If there is any effective way to make exercise fun and rewarding, it is to make it social. I hope you’ll join the Harvard community in safely coming together to celebrate movement and wellness.

Harvard Moves is also a way to raise much needed money for scholarships through the Harvard College Fund to help our amazing students during these challenging times.

Participating is simple—pick any day between Thursday, November 12, and Monday, November 16, to walk, run, bike, swim, dance, roll, or move in any other way you’d like for any distance. Maybe you’d like to complete a 5K in your neighborhood, hike a favorite trail, go for a bike ride, or take a walk on a treadmill. I’ll be running a half marathon along the Charles River.

Let’s move to make the world a better place!
