Registrations are now being accepted for 2014 Walk Kansas – A Fitness Challenge.

The annual program runs March 16th through May 10th and is designed to help individuals get motivated to improve their diet and increase their level of physical activity.

Teams are made up of six members with one person designated as the team captain. Deb Andres, Geary County Extension Agent, explained that the teams can be made up of both adults and children. “In fact many of our teams have a combination of children and their parents, or children and neighbors or teachers.”

Cost per participant is $7 which includes nine weekly newsletters, and weekly drawings for prizes. Walk Kansas t-shirts ( short and long sleeve ) and hooded sweatshirts are also available for purchase.

You can sign up by picking up a captains packet  at the Geary County Extensions office located at 119 E. 9th Street in Junction City or printing out a packet at https://www.geary.ksu.edu. The sign-up deadline is February 25th.
