Join thousands of other Iowans statewide in walking for 30 minutes to raise awareness of the importance of physical and mental well-being in Iowa. Workplaces, schools, organizations, and cities are all encouraged to organize walks on this day as part of the Healthiest State Annual Walk.
Roccasecca Fitness is offering a 30-minute stroll at Red Feather Prairie for all who are interested. This beautiful site is west of Ankeny and overlooks Saylorville Lake. We may walk the dirt trail, the gravel trail, or the paved trail depending on conditions and on the desires of those in attendance.
While we are walking, Katherine Roccasecca, CPT is available to answer your questions about walking, about beginning a walking program, or about the Fall 2026 Couch to 5K Walking Program specifically.
