Washington’s 3rd annual one-kilometer walk in conjunction with the Healthiest State Walk is being held this week. The event will be from noon to 1 on Wednesday at the Washington square. Many schools and organizations across the state are participating and over 80,000 children have registered across the state. Edie Nebel who is helping organize the Washington walk says those interested in walking the four laps around the square should pre-register online at Iowa Healthiest State dot com. She feels the event is important because it highlights the importance of physical activity and healthy life-styles.
