WalkWorks Project

Marcus Hook WalkWorks Project - Steps to a healthier you

In 2018 Marcus Hook Borough participated in the WalkWorks program, which is a statewide initiative aimed at getting more residents moving and promoting a healthier lifestyle. The WalkWorks program is a joint collaboration between the Pennsylvania Department of Health and local partners. Marcus Hook established a walking route that passes by many important markers in town. The walking route begins and ends at Market Square Memorial Park with a total distance coming in at 2 miles. The WalkWork program is designed at getting more people out, walking, and promoting a healthier lifestyle through physical activity. Signs were installed and route cards printed.

Walking is a fun, easy, free and accessible way to increase physical activity! Engaging in regular physical activity has many health benefits. It can help:

  • Control your weight;
  • Reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers;
  • Strengthen your bones and muscles;
  • Relieves stress and improve mental health and mood; and
  • Increase your chances of living longer.
