Universidad Miguel Hernández launches healthy walking routes

The Miguel Hernández University (UMH) has launched the ‘Rutas Saludables’ (Healthy Routes) project to encourage daily physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior among its university community.

Developed through the ‘Step by Step-UMH’ initiative, the project features various walking itineraries across the university’s campuses in Elche, Sant Joan d’Alacant, Altea, and Orihuela-Desamparados. These routes utilize campus green spaces and transit areas, offering walks ranging from 500 meters (approximately 5 minutes) to 1,500 meters (approximately 15 minutes) to facilitate breaks during academic and workdays.
