Naturopathic Doctor Arrives in Fargo Finishing a Portion of a 3,200 Mile Walk Across the U.S.

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — Dr. Dennis Godby, a naturopathic doctor, arrived at Fargo City Hall this afternoon finishing his third leg of a 3,200 mile walk.

This long walk is for a cause he started, Walk USA for Health Equity.

The walk is broken up into several different lengths and will finish between 2025 to 2026.

Each day of his walk takes approximately seven to nine hours. Starting from 8 in the morning to the latest five in the evening.

During his walks he had invited community members to join in on his journey.

“I’ve been doing these walks and runs for forty-six years and if I put my body on the line. Then potentially then I can raise a lot of awareness of the seriousness of walking across the United States, because everyone deserves to be optimally healthy,” said Dennis Godby, Founder of Walk USA for Health Equity.

Dr. Godby will be flying back to California to care for his patients for the next seven months and plans to return to North Dakota to continue his next phase of his trip.
