Wellesley College Athletics

In keeping with the Recreation mission, our Special Events are 'one-off' events that promote community, movement, fun and play. These events are very little time commitment and provide activities students may not have experienced before. Events could be held on campus or an off campus adventure. Some programs come with a small fee. Grab a friend and try something new! 

UPCOMING EVENTS
Walktober 2026

Join fellow classmates and alumnae again as the Department of Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics collaborates with the Alumnae Association and Friends of Wellesley Athletics for the 2026 Walktober wellness program!
 

• What is Walktober?? It's a fun and inspiring way to take advantage of autumn's cool temperatures and spectacular views as you step out and step up to better health. You'll be taken on a virtual color tour through some of the world's most vibrant, breathtaking landscapes — while boosting energy, improving mood, and making walking a priority… for life. Your goal is to collect 30 leaves – 1 leaf each day, when you log 6000+ steps, for the 42-day program. You can use a tracking device, enter manually, or add exercise minutes that convert automatically.
• This 42-day fitness program has a motivating team competition, interactive message board, helpful resources, interesting articles, and more.  Also, because we know Wellesley loves a good competition, we have added the class color challenge! Team up, add up those steps and connect with all the generations of Wellesley Alumnae through your class color. 
• Registration opens Wednesday 9/14. Sign up here to join our Walktober challenge and start your leaf collection Thursday 10/1.  All are welcome.
  For questions or further information, contact Monica Verity, Recreation Director at mverity@wellesley.edu

PAST EVENTS

Bubble Soccer

• Bubble Soccer is coming to the KSC!  It's everything you love about the beautiful game, minus the coordination and plus a giant inflatable suit that lets you bounce & roll.  No red cards, no slide-tackle fears, just high-fun collisions and non-stop chaos.  Don't just play the game - be the ball! Whether you’re on the court or cheering from the sidelines, come ready to watch your friends bounce, roll, and compete. It’s just as much fun to watch as it is to play!
   

Rec Golf Clinic

• Students will enjoy the crisp autumn weather and learn the fundamentals of golf - full swing and short game, basic rules and etiquette. Students will be introduced to the range at Nehoiden Golf Club. The course is located adjacent to the Washington Street entrance of the college. Students do NOT need equipment.
