Walk Kansas is a team-based health initiative program which will inspire you to lead a healthier life by being more active and making better nutrition choices. Participants are part of a six-member team who selects a goal and supports one another in reaching it. This year, Walk Kansas will take place from March 26 to May 20. Registration is open now and closes on April 3.

To register, visit www.walkkansasonline.org or call us at any of our district offices to request a paper registration packet. The benefits of participating include:

• Weekly newsletters filled with motivational healthy lifestyle information resources and recipes;

• Access to the online tracking system, as well as the Walk Kansas app, to help keep you on track as you work to reach your goals;

• Support in working towards leading a healthier life, including support gained from your teammates and exclusive membership in a closed Walk Kansas Facebook group; and

• A new opportunity this year to participate in the online “Med instead of Meds’’ class series! If you are interested in eating the Mediterranean way but not sure where to start, this is the perfect way to learn more.

The cost to participate is $10 per person, which includes access to all of the benefits listed above. Gather your team and get registered! If you do not have a team, we can assign you to one or you can fly solo.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out! I can be reached at 785-863-2212 or csw@ksu.edu. I hope to have you join us on this year’s Walk Kansas journey!
