Wednesday, Oct. 5 Iowans are going to “Step It Up” from a 1K to 30 minutes in the Healthiest State Annual Walk. The goal is to see organized walks completed in all 99 counties. Area communities, like Lohrville, have already taken up the challenge, beginning organized 30-minute walks every Monday in June that lasted the entire summer. In the first month, walkers tallied 2,600,000 steps and that number grew by a staggering 60 percent in July at 4,200,000. They have even ramped up the fun with a friendly competition with neighboring Lake City. Organizers at the Healthiest State initiative say if you can’t find a walk in your community, consider bringing together your own team in a simple event with all the tools needed to support the effort. To find a walk near you or to organize one, simply follow the links included below.
