Time is running out to sign up for Active U! The deadline to join more than 5,100 of your colleagues who are resolved to move more is 11:59 p.m. Feb. 7.

Active U is an eight-week physical activity challenge that encourages teams and individuals to compete for better health. Participants will receive free fitness gear, free limited access to select U-M recreational centers, and a chance to earn a slice of the pledge "pie"—currently more than $28,000—for a favorite charity.

Active U runs Feb. 7-April 3. At the program's end, winning teams and individuals will be recognized at an awards ceremony. Each participant's name will be put into a prize raffle to win prizes such as tickets to U-M athletic events, University Musical Society tickets, personal training, private lessons and much more!
