Step into fun with the 2024-2025 Just Walk event schedule

Are you ready to get active and explore the parks in Worcester County? Join the Worcester County Health Department for nine Just Walk Fun Walks in 2024-2025. The newest series of free walking events kicks off in October and runs through the summer of 2025.

To make things even more exciting, Just Walk Worcester is introducing a Just Walk passport program for the 2024-2025 event season! Just Walk Passports are available at the Snow Hill Health Department, Berlin Health Center, and the Pocomoke Health Center. Once you grab your passport, take it with you to each event and get it stamped by staff at the event.

Participation in self-guided/scavenger hunt events will be documented through your event registration. At the final Just Walk event in June, provide the health department with your stamped/signed passport. Residents who complete all nine walks will receive a prize and be entered into a raffle to win a grand prize.

Join Just Walk Worcester, a free, self-directed and reported physical activity program that rewards participants for miles or minutes of activity they complete. To join or for more information, visit JustWalkWorcester.org or call 410-632-1100 ext. 1108.
