What we’re about
During the COVID-19 pandemic & the shutdown of many in-door gyms and fitness centers, we wanted to establish a healthy environment that encourages people to venture outdoors. This group was created to provide you with 5 things:
-
Walking & exercise
-
Breathing fresh air
-
Discovering nature
-
Meeting new people
-
Taking a break from everyday life
Feel free to join us for a walk or hike!
Pets are welcome except in parks where they are prohibited. :)

See all- Breast Cancer Walk with Making Strides of BaltimoreOriole Park at Camden Yards, Baltimore , MD
Find me among the sponsor tents by texting 443-377-3743! I'll be starting at the registration tent near the stage at 8am, and wearing a black sun hat with big pink lilies on it. The walk starts at 9am so after that I cannot respond to "where are you" communications. Here is a map of the walk route
Parking info can be found on the walk webpage, but I encourage you to take public transit if possible or arrange for garage spaces ahead of time via SpotHero
