Faculty, staff, and students are invited to join this year’s Healthiest State Walk on Wednesday, Oct. 5. This one kilometer (0.62 mile) walk is part of the Healthiest State Initiative and its goal of making Iowa the healthiest state in the nation.

We will meet at the north entrance of Cowles Library at 12:15 p.m. on Oct. 5. All participants will be given a map of the route and a raffle ticket for a chance to win some great prizes! If it rains, we will walk on the indoor track at Knapp.

It only takes around 12 minutes to walk a kilometer so we encourage everyone to take a few minutes away from work or studies and participate in this fun event. If interested, please email Linda Feiden at linda.feiden@drake.edu.
