From 4 to 6 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 2, Bettendorf invites residents to go outside and take a walk for 30 minutes to promote Iowa’s heathiest state initiative that’s all about being active and connecting with your community.

“The Healthiest State Initiative is a great way to get the family outdoors, enjoy one of our many awesome Parks and explore what the City of Bettendorf has to offer our citizens,” said Kim Kidwell, Culture & Recreation Director.
The Iowa Healthiest State Initiative is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization driven by the goal to ensure every Iowan can live their healthiest life. By engaging worksites, communities, schools, retail food, organizations, institutions and individuals, we work to create awareness and integrate solutions to improve the physical, social and emotional well-being of Iowans.
