Hundreds of University of Manitoba staff, students and faculty turned the university into a veritable playground for Sneakers in motion Day 2012 on June 7.

Sneakers in motion Day promotes active living and fun to staff and students at the University of Manitoba. The goal is to inspire students and employees to make health a priority and to be more active.

The lunchtime event at both the Fort Garry and Bannatyne Campus kicked off with an enthusiastic warm up before revelers and fitness-enthusiasts continued on a walkabout across campus.

Group and individual prizes were given for the “grooviest sneakers” and the best "bust-a-move."

Jay Richardson from TSN 1290 Radio's The Big Show morning show emceed the event.
