2026 Harris County Walk Across Texas Kickoff

February 28 @ 8:30 am – 11:00 am

Walk Across Texas Kicks Off at Hermann Park! Hermann Park Conservancy is excited to host the 2026 Harris County Walk Across Texas Kickoff this Saturday, February 28, from 8:30 to 11 a.m. at the Wortham Pavilion in the Commons.

Walk Across Texas, a program by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, is a free, eight-week walking challenge designed to help Texans be more active and establish the habit of regular physical activity. Each adult team may include up to eight team members, all working together to walk the 832-mile goal. Since 1996, more than 650,000 Texans have participated in the program to significantly increase their physical activity level.

Bring your friends, family, or coworkers and start your team for this fun, healthy community challenge. To kick things off, this event will have:

  • Line dancing
  • Stretching with Black Swan Yoga
  • Family-friendly scavenger hunt

Come move, laugh, and get inspired to log your miles together. Start your team and get walking!
