Explore Worcester County Parks with the 2025-2026 Just Walk Fun Walks

Snow Hill, MD- The Worcester County Health Department invites residents to get active and explore the outdoors with the 2025-2026 Just Walk Fun Walks. This free walking event series kicks off in October with Just Walk Across Worcester, a month-long self-guided walking event.

The Just Walk Fun Walks include a mix of self-guided scavenger hunts and large, organized walking events coordinated by the Worcester County Health Department and the Just Walk Worcester Committee. A full schedule of events is below this article, and event details will be shared closer to each date.

To make things even more exciting, Just Walk Worcester is bringing back the Just Walk passport program. Just Walk Passports are available for free download at justwalkworcester.org. Bring your passport to each event, and it will be stamped by our staff. Participation in self-guided and scavenger hunt events will be verified through the event registration.

At the final Just Walk event in June, participants who submit a fully stamped or signed passport—showing they completed all seven walks—will receive a prize and be entered into a drawing for a grand prize.

Join Just Walk Worcester, a free, self-directed  physical activity program that rewards participants for miles or minutes of activity they complete. To join and track your activity, visit JustWalkWorcester.org.  For more information or to explore other no-cost healthy lifestyle programs, visit worcesterhealth.org or call 410-632-1100 ext. 1108.
