Blazing Race

 

Join TCE Wellness and your fellow Mavericks for the Blazing Race, a campus-wide interactive event designed to bring wellness to life.

Teams will race across campus, solving clues and completing activities inspired by UTA’s 8 Dimensions of Wellness. Each stop challenges your team to think, move, and work together in a fun and fast-paced environment.

Rain or shine, the race is on. Come ready to stay active and show your Maverick spirit.
