Walk Kansas

Join us March 22 - May 16, 2026

Walk Kansas celebrated its 25th year in 2025. The program continues in 2026 with a new online tracking system, new (virtual) trails to explore, and plenty of motivation to help you move more and feel better! Registration will open February 15, 2026.

Walk Kansas is a K-State Research and Extension (KSRE) health initiative that promotes personal health and well-being by helping participants adopt healthful lifestyle habits. While primarily a team-based program, you can also go solo! Walk Kansas will help you:

  • be more active with support from friends and family
  • make healthier nutrition and beverage choices
  • learn helpful techniques to reduce stress, sleep well, and improve overall well-being
