Delaware County - a 5K, your way!
The DelCo Grow & Walk-A-Thon is the culminating challenge of Grow & Walk DelCo- a multi-week wellness challenge designed to improve individual and community health - this community wellness event invites neighbors and area residents to have fun will being fit.
The Walk-A-Thon also a celebration of 10 years of Black Girls With Green Thumbs. As we mark this milestone, we're planting seeds for the next decade of healthier communities, stronger neighborhoods, and joyful movement.
Presented in partnership with Delaware County Parks & Recreation, this accessible, all-ages 5K is open to both program participants and the public. Whether you've participated throughout the season or are simply looking for a fun, active way to spend the day, we'd love to walk with you. Designed for beginners, leisure walkers, families, and seniors, the Walk-A-Thon is less about competition and more about moving together, enjoying local green and historic spaces, and celebrating wellness in community.
The walk begins and ends at the County Park on Springfield Road, followed by a community celebration and complimentary lunch.
Join us for the final Grow & Walk challenge—and take a walk toward wellness with us.
Grow & Walk - A-Thon is FREE to eastern Delaware County residents and sliding scale for all other participants.
