Community Walking Events

New this year are weekly walking events in community parks and recreation centers. Remember to wear walking shoes, bring water, and dress for the weather. We encourage individuals, teams, and families alike to discover what terrific parks and recreation facilities Champaign County has to offer. No registration is required.

Team Captains: The team with the most Moon Walkers present at each walk will be featured with their picture on the Champaign County Moon Walk website. Encourage your group to come and walk for your chance at fame!
