Building a Healthy Community

Promoting Physical Activity and Nutrition

Walk Southeast

Walk (run or hike) Southeast this summer without leaving Ketchikan! Track your miles between May 1 and September 1 and see what communities you can reach. The further the community, the more chances you have to win great prizes in the local drawing, including a 1-night stay at The Inn at Knudson Cove, cool swag from Ketchikan Wellness Coalition, 10-punch fitness pass to the Rec Center, Plating Up the Tongass Cookbooks, Out to Sea Expedition gear, and more! Walk at least 150 miles and be entered to win TWO round trip tickets from Alaska Airlines!

*It’s absolutely free to participate.

Ketchikan Community Gardens are a network of cooperative & demonstrative gardens that build connection, increase food resiliency and knowledge, and are used in a collaborative way for food education and awareness.
