Step into spring with the 2026 Fairfax County Walk & Win Challenge, April 1–30! The challenge kicks off on National Walking Day (April 1) – simply walk a designated loop and join the fun!

Participants can enter their walking activity online or via social media for a chance to win weekly prizes, including gift cards from area retailers and merchants. Log your walks by sharing a photo or a screenshot of your route from your walking app. Submissions can be made by either scanning the QR code on the route and entering online or sharing a photo from your walk on social media by tagging @FFXTransportation and #WalkWinFX2026
