Healthiest State Annual Walk to be held Oct. 6; registration open
Registration for the Healthiest State 11th Annual Walk, presented by Delta Dental of Iowa, is now open. On Oct. 6, thousands of Iowans across the state will participate in organized walks at schools, workplaces and in their communities. The 2021 theme “Walk More. Connect More.” highlights the social benefits of walking. Being physically active is one of the most important steps that people of all ages and abilities can take to improve their health, and integrating exercise with social activities has been shown to have a positive impact on overall health. “The theme for this year’s walk is perfect,” said Lura McBride, Annual Walk co-chair and president and CEO of Van Meter Inc. “Walking is a big part of total wellness – heart, mind and spirit – and an intentional focus on total wellness as well as getting reconnected with colleagues, friends and family is so important for relationships in our workplaces and communities this year.” For more information and to register a walk, visit http://www.iowahealthieststate.com/events/annual-walk/.
