In recognition of National Public Health Week, all 28 local public health units across North Dakota will participate in “Stroll N Roll North Dakota,” a statewide walking event designed to promote physical activity and social connection. Local public health units are inviting community members to lace up their walking shoes and move together. “Stroll N Roll North Dakota” will take place throughout the day on Wednesday, April 8. Individuals of all ages and abilities are encouraged to participate at a time that works best for them. Walking, biking, rollerblading and the use of wheelchairs, strollers or other mobility devices are all welcome. While there is no minimum time requirement, adults are encouraged to aim for 30 minutes of activity, consistent with recommendations from the American Heart Association. This statewide event is sponsored by the North Dakota State Association of City and County Health Officials, a group that helps coordinate local public health efforts across the state.
