The 2023 Walk Kansas program aims to help participants become healthier and kicks off on March 26. It will run eight weeks through May 20. The cost per person is $10; t-shirts can be purchased for a separate charge. 

 As a team, if you participate in Walk Kansas, you can choose between different challenges. There is also a solo challenge for those who don’t have a team, or just prefer to take on the challenge themselves. We also offer tips and instruction through our weekly newsletters and the Walk Kansas website.

During Weeks 2 through 7 of Walk Kansas – a weekly webinar will be offered on healthy eating. Call the Cottonwood Extension office at 785-628-9430 or email [email protected] for more information.
