Program Overview


Club 300 is a senior walking program sponsored by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, Department of Parks and Recreation, Special Programs Division's Senior Services Unit. What began as a virtual walk across Maryland, one mile at a time (a total of 300 miles), has grown and blossomed into a virtual walk across America! Due to the popularity and success of Club 300, the program will continue as a year round senior walking program.

Please note: On December 31, 2020, the Walk Across America Challenge will come to an end. There will be a new and exciting walking club challenge announced early in 2021.
