The Cedar Valley Blue Zones Project is teaming up with Cedar Valley SportsPlex and Waterloo Mayor Hart for a family friendly event on May 12th. Walk Waterloo is a celebration of 5 years of the Cedar Valley Blue Zones Project and the amazing growth of Downtown Waterloo! Walk Waterloo is a one mile walk/run that will begin at Lincoln Park at 5:00 p.m. Entry is $10; this will provide each participant with a #WalkWaterloo t-shirt and help contribute a donation of fresh produce to the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. We would like to encourage UNI employees to attend and promote wellness in Waterloo.
