Inspiration Walk

It was a great day for the 24^th Annual Special Olympics Howard County Inspiration Walk!  Yes, there were some sprinkles but that did not dampen the spirit of the athletes and families who attended.  The Oriole Bird and Ravens Poe were fan favorites and athletes enjoyed getting their photos taken with their home team mascots.  Games kept the athletes challenged and Spirit Fitness brought their special brand of exercise for everyone.  Thanks to all of our volunteers who gave their time and energy in making the walk a success.

For 24 years, the Inspiration Walk has been an opportunity to bring together our families, athletes, coaches and volunteers in a festive environment to raise critical funds needed to support our over 950 athletes in 24 sports programs. We hope that families will show their appreciation for these programs, which are provided free of charge, by donating and raising funds for this event.

2026 Marks the 25th anniversary of the Inspiration Walk.  We’ll celebrate on on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at Color Burst Park in the Merriweather District.  Click here  to register, donate and set up your fundraising page.
