MUSCATINE, Iowa – You don’t need to be a marathon runner to take care of your health. Small changes—like a daily walk or a healthier breakfast—can make a big difference in both mental and physical well-being.
Join thousands of Iowans for the 15th Annual Healthiest State Walk on Wednesday, October 1, a statewide effort to highlight the importance of living healthier, more active lives. Workplaces, schools, organizations, and communities across Iowa are encouraged to step outside for a 30-minute walk.
Here in Muscatine, the City of Muscatine invites everyone to take part in a community walk. City staff will gather at 12:15 p.m. at the Clam Man on the riverfront and walk together for 30 minutes.
If you can’t make it to the riverfront walk, there are plenty of other ways to participate:
- Walk the Y Outdoor Trail at your own pace, starting at noon.
- Organize a walk with friends, family, or coworkers at a location that works for you.
- Take a solo walk—every step counts!
Be sure to snap a photo of your walk and share it with the hashtag #HealthiestWalkMuscatine to join the community online.
Take the first step—literally—toward a healthier you!
