Sign up now to join The Bicentennial Tour with President Hurd!
President Nicole Hurd is launching a fitness challenge in celebration of Lafayette’s Bicentennial year—and you can be a part of the team! Whether you run, swim, practice yoga or Zumba, take your pups for daily walks, visit the gym, or cycle on your Peloton, you can challenge yourself through The Bicentennial Tour.
Who’s eligible to participate? Anyone with Lafayette College pride! This includes alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends of the College.
The Bicentennial Tour begins Dec. 27—the date citizens of Easton held a meeting to begin the process of establishing a college in the town—and ends Sept. 6, 2026, on the Marquis de Lafayette’s birthday. As you log active minutes at four Lafayette milestones along the way, you’ll be rewarded with commemorative gear.
- Your first goal is 200 minutes. Achieve it, and you’ll earn an exclusive “The Bicentennial Tour” T-shirt.
- Make it to 1,826 minutes? You’ll receive a Bicentennial water bottle and sticker.
- Continuing the tour to 1,926 minutes? We have a commemorative hat for you.
- Complete the tour by logging 2,026 minutes and receive the ultimate prize: a custom Lafayette College Bicentennial Tour finisher medal.
- Plus, participants who post their fitness activities on social media using #LafayetteCollege200 will be entered into a drawing for admission to the exclusive 2026 NYC Holiday Party!
