Get REC'd: Free Food, Fun and Fitness During Welcome Week

Mark your calendars for August 22 because Get REC’d is returning for its fourth year on Auburn’s campus!


Join thousands of your closest friends and experience the Recreation and Wellness Center in the best way possible. Show your competitive side with 15+ games like the War Eagle Warrior Challenge, human foosball, inflatable twister, the CPR challenge and many more.

What to Expect

This action-packed day takes place all throughout our facility. After the fun, everyone gets to leave The Rec with some swag, so don’t miss out on all the freebies. The first 2,500 students to complete our sponsor scavenger hunt will even receive a free t-shirt.

Head over to the MAC gym for a Taste of Auburn, where 45+ local vendors will be giving away free samples, including Smoothie King, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Conecuh Sausage, Toomer’s Coffee and more.  

If you ever wanted to try the golf simulator, this is your chance do it for free. The golf simulator will be open on the lower level for students who want to tee off.

Climb either of our two 50-foot rock walls in pursuit of the hidden golden tickets. These can be redeemed for one of four special prizes provided by local vendors.

You will not want to miss this AUsome event! So grab your friends and head over to the Rec on the second day of Welcome Week. We can’t wait to see you at Get REC’d 2017!

Be well, Auburn!
