Kansas HealthQuest's Virtual Race Across Kansas began Wednesday. The race is a statewide physical activity and nutrition challenge where participants track their physical activity and consumption of fruits/vegetable that translate into travel miles across Kansas. Participants who complete the challenge by earning 1,000 or more miles will be entered into a prize drawing.
