Walk Maryland Day: All Explorers Walk

Join Montgomery Park on Wednesday, October 1st, for Walk Maryland Day, a celebration of Maryland's official exercise: walking! Our trek for all walkers ages 55+ begins at Wheaton Regional Park at 10 AM, where participants will embark on a 3 mile hike along the park's paved and natural trails.

During the walk, you will also have the option to walk with Dr. Marsha Seidelman, who is board certified in Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. Dr. Seidelman will hold a 5-10 minute lecture about practical and fun ways to meet recommended physical activity guidelines for heart and brain health, along with the benefits of exercising in nature, before joining the rest of the walk. Please see our event website.

Following the walk, walkers will enjoy a fun-filled afternoon with a DJ, games,and food! The event is free; however, advanced registration is required for planning purposes.

This event is open to participants who are 55+. For more information about Montgomery Parks' 55+ walking club, Montgomery Explorers, please explore MontgomeryParks.org.
