Step Along With Us Walk
Step Along With Us
Oskaloosa, Iowa – You started somewhere. Now the Mahaska Wellness Coalition is asking you to “Step Along With Us” as we continue to focus on improving the health and well being of those in our community. Join us on Friday, Dec. 2 at Penn Central Mall (by Napoli’s restaurant) for a 1K walk that will start at noon. If you “step along with us”, we will learn together how to live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Walks will continue on the first Friday of each month and are open to the public.
The Mahaska Wellness Coalition would like to encourage businesses or groups of people to walk the first Fridays of each month, even if you can’t make it to the mall. Host your own monthly walk and recruit your friends, co-workers or family to walk with you. Let us know about your walk by contacting the coalition and reporting the number of walkers in your group each month.
