From Our Partners

October will be here before you know it, which means Walktober is right around the corner. Walktober is a month for celebrating walking when the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) and other partnering agencies promote and host events and webinars spotlighting Maryland pedestrians’ safety, health, and commuting options in current walk programs and initiatives.

The Walktober Walkinar (webinar) series will also be back this year. MDOT will host a free walkinar each Thursday in October on various walk-focused topics from renowned guest speakers. Keep an eye on the Walktober website as more information will be available soon about this year’s guest speakers.

The ninth annual Walk Maryland Day is scheduled for October 4. Last year’s Walk Maryland Day included more than 160 walk events in 23 counties throughout the State of Maryland and Baltimore City. Start planning to register as a Walk Leader or Sole Mate (walk participant) this October! Learn more about Walk Maryland Day on MDOT’s website.
