Walktober walking events return

Walktober, an annual campaign Healthy Communities to inspire community residents to walk more and become healthier, has arrived.

Walking events are scheduled throughout October, from Walk & Bike to School Day on Wednesday to nature walks at Mill Race Park and campus walks at the Columbus Learning Center.

In partnership with the Heritage Fund — The Community Foundation of Batholomew County’s Project Prevent, a one-mile walking loop has been established around the Round Lake in Mill Race Park called Positivity Path. The walking loop features signs with positive messages to support mental health and substance abuse recovery.
