Physical Wellness

While you’re here to expand your mind, you can’t do that without taking care of your body. Student Health Services is your go-to stop for health care services, often at no cost. Recreation & Sports Operations can help connect you with opportunities for fitness such as group exercise or intramural sports. And the UWEC Police offer services to help keep you safe on and off campus.

A Home Track to Brag About

The newly upgraded Simpson Field on UWEC's upper campus is home to several varsity and intramural/club sports. New turf, lighting, a resurfaced track, and stadium seating makes it a great place to watch or play a favorite sport, or take in a Blugold Marching Band practice.

Students cheer on the runners at the end of the Eau Claire Marathon (The Blugold Mile)

Go the Extra (Blugold) Mile

Eau Claire is now host to the "Best Marathon in Wisconsin," and a big part of the appeal for runners is the Blugold Mile. The marching band, student orgs, and hundreds of Blugolds line the campus leg of the race and cheer on those runners!

The support systems at UW Claire are the most influential thing that I believe this university has in comparison to others. I definitely feel like I'm always supported, be it a mental health issue, a physical inability that I have, or just a struggle in a class. I know that I can always talk to a professor or a department as a whole to help me through this journey.
