March the Mississippi: A Community Health Challenge
As part of CRMC’s Community Health Needs Assessment efforts to decrease obesity and overweight rates of Crow Wing County residents by increasing their activity, CRMC is posing a community health challenge to give people extra motivation to start exercising or to keep exercising, and hopefully continue the activity as part of a lifestyle commitment. The health challenge is based on exercising a collective number of miles to reach a community goal.
Named March the Mississippi, participants will walk, hike or run along the Mississippi River State Water Trail from Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico and back, a total of 4,700 miles.
