Mason Recreation sets the Valentine's Day mood with a couples fitness competition

Mason Recreation will be hosting their first "Be My Fit Valentine" event on Wednesday, Feb. 13 at 7 p.m. in the Cage Gym of the Recreation and Athletic Complex. 

The event gives couples the opportunity to compete with each other in a series of exercises, including wheelbarrow races, crab walks and other fitness activities. 

OPINION: The transition from Recreation to University Life for club sports brings forth unexpected challenges

Out of a student population of over thirty thousand, Mason has about 500 NCAA varsity athletes. While, as a community, we should be very proud of these athletes’ many achievements, there are hundreds of club athletes—outnumbering varsity athletes—who also contribute to the successes of Mason in athletic endeavors. Mason Club Football has won the Seaboard Conference Championship five times, 2000, 2001 and then defended the honor three consecutive times from 2003 to 2005.
