Mindfulness walks and Tuesday runs with the sports tutors
Join the sports tutors in some outdoor exercise: tutors organise a weekly mindfulness walk on Mondays and a Tuesday run on Tuesdays. Both events are free and there is no advanced enrolment. You do not need to pay the CampusSport sports fee in order to participate but you do need to be an enrolled student or a staff member in one of the universities in Turku. You are welcome to participate in the events regularly or occasionally. The pace will be adjusted to suit the participants’ level. The sports tutors will be wearing black vests with “Sports tutor” written on them. Wear sturdy shoes and clothes that suitable for the weather. Bring a water bottle.
If it rains a lot, the events will not take place. Check the possible exceptions for the Exceptions in the schedule page.
Mindfulness walks on Mondays starting from 14 September 2026
Take a break from your busy day and step into a moment of calm. Welcome to a mindfulness walk with the sports tutors on Mondays at 16.00-17.00. The first walk will take place on 14 September 2026. The walk starts from Raunistula bridge, the student village end, and ends at the same place. The walks are held in English.
Mindfulness walking is a gentle practice that combines movement with present-moment awareness. Instead of focusing on speed or performance, we pay attention to our breathing, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment. This type of walking can help reduce stress, improve concentration, and create a sense of balance and clarity. The aim is not only physical activity, but also mental relaxation and a deeper connection with the present moment.
Tuesday runs starting from 15 September 2026
Welcome to a relaxed run with CampusSport’s sports tutors on Tuesdays at 17.00-18.00 starting from 15 September 2026. The starting and finishing point is in front of the Tyyssija gym (Inspehtorinkatu 12, Turku). Running technique is not taught during the runs. The target length of the run is approximately 5 kilometers. Participants should have some previous experience in running. Asphalt roads will be avoided as much as possible. If you want to use the toilets or dressing rooms at Tyyssija before the run, please arrive at 16.45, as the run starts at 17.00 sharp. The sports tutors will let participants into the dressing rooms.
You are also welcome to join the sports tutors in a Sunday walk in Ruissalo on 20 September 2026 at 12.00!
