2025 Stride for Science

Field Day Frenzy Activities

Trap Yoga - led by SBM member, Dr. Keri Kirk

• Founded by Brandon Copeland, "Trap Yoga is a style of power yoga that is set to trap music (high energy rap music by southern rap artists). The style offers a physical challenge that mirrors the intensity of the music being played. The instructors still moves through traditional flows, but add components to enhance community among the members of the class. It was originally designed to be inclusive of Black people in yoga communities, but has evolved to enhance inclusion of many different groups who may not have seen themselves practicing yoga, different body types, and different fitness levels."

• Two 15-minute sessions will be offered, starting at 6:10pm and 6:50pm. Each session will be limited to 40 participants.

Zumba - led by local instructor, Maria Del Pilar Marquez

• Zumba is a popular, high-energy dance fitness party that combines Latin music and all elements of fitness – cardio, muscle conditioning, balance and flexibility, boosted energy, and a good time!

• Two 15-minute sessions will be offered, starting at 6:30pm and 7:10pm. Each session will be limited to 40 participants.

Physical Challenge Competitions

• Hula Hoop Marathon: your goal is to keep your hula hoop spinning around your body for as long as possible! The participant with the longest spin-time at the end of the Field Day Frenzy will be deemed the hula hoop champion and receive a metal.

• Beat the Bar Challenge: a strength based challenge, your goal is to "beat the bar" by holding yourself up on a pull-up bar while the timer counts down two minutes. Those strong enough to defeat the bar will be awarded in the closing ceremony.

• Planking Competition: it wouldn't be an SBM fitness challenge without a planking competition! The participant with the longest plank time will receive a metal in the closing ceremony.

Lawn Game Arena

• Cornhole, Giant Jenga, and Giant Connect 4, oh my! Go head-to-head with your fellow SBMers in some friendly competition with our Lawn Game Arena.
