Join your fellow NIH employees in a walk or run around the perimeter of the NIH campus (approximately 3.25 miles from start to finish) rain or shine! 

In support of White House initiatives promoting a healthier federal workforce and the US Surgeon General’s National Prevention Strategy, all employees and contractors are encouraged to participate in the 7th annual NIH "Take a Hike" event. If you have not participated in this fun lunchtime event in the past, this year is the time to start. Our goal is to increase participation to record levels!

Support your Institute/Center when you register!

If you would like to sponsor a water station and help show your office spirit, please contact Michelle Aikens at Aikensm@mail.nih.gov or 301-402-8180. Tables will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Although we encourage all employees and contractors to participate, please obtain your supervisor’s approval before registering. NIH Take a Hike Day is a voluntary event.
