Governor Reeves Recognizes National Walking Day

April 1, 2026

April 1 is National Walking Day, and we’re pleased to share that Governor Tate Reeves has officially proclaimed the day as Walking Day in Mississippi. This recognition highlights the importance of walking as a simple, powerful way to support heart health and overall well‑being.

Regular physical exercise is a great way to keep your body healthy and release stress. And walking is one of the simplest and most accessible forms of exercise — no special equipment, no gym membership, just you and the path forward.
