About this Event
Gather your family and friends and join us for The Walk Home! This fun, family-friendly event welcomes all ages and fitness levels, with paved trails that make it easy for everyone to participate. Whether you're walking for a cause or for some quality time with loved ones, your support helps provide housing stability for those experiencing homelessness in Denton County. Don't miss the chance to make a real difference!
Offering two routes for you and your group to explore on:
Full Loop - 3.2 Miles (Unofficial 5k)
The Full Loop is a paved route along the perimeter of the park lasting around 1.7 miles. Participants doing the long walk will complete the loop twice for a total of 3.2 miles.
Soft Trail - .7 Miles
The Soft Trail is a shorter .7-mile path that’s in and out with a small loop.
What are we fundraising for?
Proceeds earned from the walk will benefit programs, services, and operations of The Path Home (formerly Denton County Homeless Coalition). The Path Home operates a flexible housing fund helping households gain or maintain housing by overcoming barriers to their stability. This fund allows 13 local agencies access to available funds to assist their clients in gaining or maintaining housing. The fund has been operational for 8 years and served over 880 households! Your participation in The Walk Home increases the chances for future impact. Gather a team and multiply that impact!
