The inaugural "Healthiest State Initiative 1 Mile Walk Presented by HealthPartners" will take place on Sunday, October 19, as part of the IMT Des Moines Marathon weekend festivities. This untimed, family-friendly walk is designed to be accessible for all ages and abilities and will highlight the shared mission of both organizations to encourage physical activity and build a culture of health throughout Iowa.

To make this truly a statewide mission, we have added a virtual option for the 1-mile walk along with our in-person option. Regardless of where you are at in the state, you can partake in this amazing endeavor to make Iowa as healthy as possible - one step at a time.
