Accomplish the Possible
Frederick Douglass taught us that anything is possible with
hard work. He said in his speech to schoolchildren, “What was
possible for me is possible for you.”
Retrace the 10-mile path Frederick Douglass walked from the
Freeland farm near St. Michaels to his confinement at the
Talbot County jail in Easton, MD after a failed escape attempt
in April 1836.
His imprisonment at the jail set the stage for a sequence of
events that led to his eventual escape to freedom. His
accomplishments changed history and made extensive
improvements in the lives of all Americans.
Walkers, runners and wheelchair athletes will retrace this
historic route to raise monies for the creation of a memorial to
honor Frederick Douglass on the Talbot County Courthouse lawn.
Plus, half of the race proceeds will be given to the YMCA of
Talbot County to promote physical fitness in the community.
Together We Can Accomplish The Possible.
