Walktober 2026
Movement. Recovery. Resilience.
Every October, the UTEP Department of Physical Therapy & Movement Sciences hosts Walktober, a month-long movement challenge for the UTEP and El Paso communities in celebration of Physical Therapy Month and World Stroke Day on October 29.
More than counting steps or minutes, Walktober is a celebration of movement, recovery, community, and the role physical therapy plays in helping people stay active and resilient in life.

- Register as an individual or create a team with classmates, colleagues, friends, or family.

Last year, Walktober covered enough miles to walk from El Paso to Austin and back. How far will we go this year? Come join the tradition! 🧡
