Montgomery County’s African American Health Program hosts its seventh annual Health Freedom Walk on Saturday, June 11 at the Woodlawn Cultural Park in Sandy Spring, rain or shine.
The health walk is designed to give walkers an opportunity to learn about Maryland’s important role in the Underground Railroad, while enjoying a morning of physical activity with friends and family. The walk will follow historical routes slaves traveled in their quest for freedom. Participants will be given the name of an abolitionist, Quaker or slave and will walk in honor of those who walked for freedom and those who assisted in the struggle.
The walk begins at 9 a.m., with check-in and registration starting at 8 a.m. There is a $5 registration fee. Walkers 10 years of age and younger are free.
