The AU 5k starts today, Monday, November 9 until next Monday. ![image_thumb[6]](https://i0.wp.com/realshaanhurley-vylag.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/0c3e4-6a00d8341bfd0c53ef026be422150f200d.png "image_thumb[6]")
You have from Nov 9-16th to complete your 5k (or whatever distance you’re comfortable with). https://strava.com/clubs/AU2020 Spread the world far and wide, even to those that don’t know what AU or Autodesk is but want to have fun.
Join our Strava club as we run/walk/cycle our way to Autodesk University the following week, and free this year.
Please join us and post your photos and videos to the Strava group where you did your AU5K and/or Twitter an social media with the hashtag #AU5K. I hope to see people share some amazing global landscapes and neighborhoods where they are attending Autodesk University from this year shared as photos and videos in social using the hashtag #AU5K. It is a fun active way for us to stay healthy and connected this year – and free. It will keep us connected this year until we can once again meet in person. Can’t get outside due to snow or hungry bears, stay inside and use your treadmill or spin bike or feel free to use a fast dogsled. Just have fun, be safe, and be active.
I will be riding in the cold wet weather in Portland Oregon and be sharing beautiful fall leaves photos from the bike ride to the Autodesk Portland office.
FYI https://onthegomap.com is a good way to pre plan 5k distance for your run, walk, or ride.
This is a slippery slope Shaan. 🙂 I recently got a Treo 600 running Palm OS with wireless internet capabilities. Now I’m never non-connected. A great way to spend the time stuck in an Airport but gets you in trouble checking your email while waiting for your wife to order her food. Sometimes I seriously think the next step is going to be a brain implant. Ditch the technology when visiting mother nature. Just a thought.. 🙂
Sean,
Your words are so true. Everytime I hear another email come in with the vibrate or alarm, I find myself checking it. This is not all that new though as I am almost always connected. In fact while in Brazil and the heart of the Amazon next month, I will have a rugged model TabletPC and a GSM card which will be able to keep me completly connected while in the jungle. No place on Earth is safe from electronic connections now. I am a pathetic geek and ultimate road warrior.
Cheers,
