Walktober (15).png

October is Walktober in Maryland—a month-long celebration of our official state exercise: walking! The Queen Anne’s County Department of Health invites you to step into fall, get active, and help us showcase our community’s commitment to health, wellness, and pedestrian safety.

Whether you’re logging daily steps on your smartwatch, enjoying local trails, or joining neighbors for group outings, every step counts toward our countywide goal.

Featured Walktober Activities & Events

Join the Queen Anne's County Department of Health on "Walking Wednesdays"! Signs will guide participants with educational facts about walking, rolling and moving with each sign featuring a QR code to scan with their phone to log daily steps and be entered to win Walktober prizes! Each sign will remain at the designated park throughout the week for participants who can't make "Walking Wednesdays".
