Walk Across Arkansas is back for its spring event March 15 – May 14. The eight-week exercise program is organized each spring and fall by the Cooperative Extension Service, part of the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, with the goal of helping Arkansans improve their health. Participation is free, and registration opens March 1 online at www.walk.uada.edu. “Last fall, there were a total of seven teams with 57 participants from Arkansas County. Together Arkansas County teams walked 106,841 minutes. We hope to set a new record this year.” Last year, 569 Arkansans statewide participated in the fall 2020 Walk Across Arkansas, logging 993,002 minutes. There were 141 participating teams across 48 counties. Many of those participants reported they had more energy, slept better, controlled stress, strengthened relationships, lost weight or inches, and improved their blood panels and blood pressure.
