Celebrate Walk Maryland Day on October 7th by Registering as a Walk Leader
Governor Larry Hogan has declared October 7, 2020, “Walk Maryland Day,” a celebration of our state’s official exercise and a call to action to promote walking for physical activity and improved health. The celebration needs you! We’re seeking Walk Leaders -- change agents from different sectors of the community who see the health benefits of walking and encourage fellow Marylanders to take time out of their day to enjoy a walk in their community. Walk Leaders will help recruit Sole Mates,
the participants who sign up to join registered walks throughout the State.
Are you interested in leading a walk on October 7? Anyone can register as a Walk Leader, whether your walk is in your neighborhood, at a local park, on a treadmill, with your dog, by yourself, or with a group of friends while maintaining social distancing guidelines. The possibilities are endless!
Click the button below to access the registration form and become a Walk Leader today!
Sole Mate registration and a list of all registered walks will be posted here on October 1, 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic has helped highlight the importance of walking as a critical aspect of human well-being, not only for transportation and access, but active recreation and exercise. So, we’ll be pleased to see everyone out there (even if joining virtually or at a distance) wearing masks, keeping proper physical distance, and following all the health protocols we know are so important to Maryland’s recovery.
