Walk This Way

Fargo is following the words of Aerosmith, Walk this Way!

The annual Walk this Way in downtown Fargo helped kick of the series of 13 walking and biking events.

According to the CDC, walking helps with heart disease, high blood pressure, and other ailments

For the past 11 years, late Mayor Dennis Walaker started off the walk.

Current Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney took the lead this time in efforts to raise awareness in healthy living.

“Denny had the tendency to just walk to the start, he didn’t really like to walk the whole area, but the reality is as he got older he was de-conditioned. And that influenced his disease. So the important thing is that if you can keep that part of a daily routine, into a routine that helps and people do better long term,”said Mahoney.

It’s free to participate in any of the upcoming events, you can register at www.fmwalkthisway.com
