Thank You for Participating in World Walking Day 2024

Thank You for Making World Walking Day 2024 a Success!

We want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for making World Walking Day – 24 Hours Around the Globe such a remarkable success! This year’s celebration was bigger, better, and more inspiring, with 382,077 participants from 94 countries, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your participation.

On Sunday, 6 October 2024, we witnessed participants across all 24 time zones uniting in a global relay, passing the baton from the first sunrise in the East to the last sunset in the West. Your involvement highlighted our collective commitment to unity and Sport for All.

As the baton journeyed around the world, it was carried for a multitude of causes and powerful messages. Below is a word cloud highlighting the many reasons the world walked together during World Walking Day 2024!
