Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday Through the Walk Across Texas Series

Create healthy habits, lower your risk of disease, meet new friends, and achieve your 2026 health goals!

Also, celebrate America’s 250th Birthday by planning to visit national and Texas historic sites and/or parks over the next year.

Join Fayette County’s eight-week Walk Across Texas! program, which starts March 8.

Walking is one of the least expensive and easiest ways to get fit, says Sally Garrett, Tex - as A&M AgriLife Extension Agent-Family & Community Health. Physical activity helps reduce your risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Increase your chances of success by creating a team of eight and walking with your teammates toward a healthier lifestyle.

Walk Across Texas! is… life changing. By completing the eight-week program, you will feel better, lower your stress, and gain all the addi- tional benefits of regular phys ical activity, not to mention creating long-lasting, healthy habits.
