Governor Larry Hogan has declared October 6, 2021, “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 leaders seek out, to join registered walks throughout the State.
 
Are you interested in leading a walk on October 6th? 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!

It will be up to the Walk Leaders to recruit Sole Mates and coordinate logistics for walks on October 6th. You can always register as a solo walk leader or check out the many walks and programs throughout the month of WALKTOBER on our webpage at www.mdot.maryland.gov/walktober.  We want to hear from you! Use hashtag #WalkMD2021 to share pictures and videos from your walk.
