Launched in 1991, TAFISA World Walking Day has provided a simple and fun way to be physically active and celebrate Sport for All against the global crisis of physical inactivity. Over three decades, millions of people hailing from over a hundred and sixty countries have made a habit of walking together on the first Sunday of October, turning it into “World Walking Day”.
In 2020, as the world faced a global pandemic disrupting our societies, grassroots sports and health systems, and governments worldwide, we needed to come together and show that the Global Sport for All Movement could stand strong and united during trying times. Thus was born the idea of TAFISA World Walking Day – 24 Hours Around the Globe, the most inclusive and accessible 24-hour relay around the world. TAFISA World Walking Day is the most inclusive and accessible walk around the world.
Over the past three decades, millions of participants have taken part in 160 countries. In 2020, tens of thousands from 65 countries joined us on this new journey, from Antarctica to the westmost confines of the American continent, going through Oceania, Asia, Europe and Africa on the way.
In Europe, the TAFISA World Walking Day - 24 hours around the globe aligns with the European Week of Sport and its #BeActive message and campaign.
