Fitness Opportunities
We know that staying healthy is important to you – that’s why it’s easy to find a variety of ways to get your workouts on campus. Our intramural and club sports teams are a great way to make new friends, get some exercise and have fun. Or get together some of your friends or roommates for a game of tag football, Frisbee or catch. Our sidewalks are excellent for running or biking and can quickly lead you to bike paths through Fargo Moorhead.
For excellent workout opportunities through the year –regardless of the weather – check out the Olson Forum and Concordia Pool.
Olson Forum
The $5.9 million Olson Forum, a multipurpose sports and fitness complex, includes four regulation basketball/volleyball/tennis courts and a 200-meter competition running track. One of its most popular features is the balcony overlooking the track that offers a selection of fitness and cardiovascular exercise equipment, each equipped with individual television monitors. The best news – all of this is free to our students!
