The Estonian Health Trails Organization is encouraging citizens to participate in a challenge to walk or run at least 80,000 kilometers collectively to celebrate the Republic's anniversary.
The Estonian Health Trails Organization is inviting all Estonians for the ninth consecutive year to engage in outdoor activities to celebrate the Republic's anniversary by collectively covering at least 80,000 kilometers. The initiative aims to enhance physical and mental well-being and emphasizes the importance of making time for movement in everyday life. Participants can conveniently log their kilometers on the organization's website.
Estonia's President Alar Karis, a well-known advocate for culture and sports, encourages citizens to engage in physical activities such as running, skiing, or walking, reiterating that the focus should be on moving. He emphasizes the need to listen to one's thoughts while being active outdoors, promoting a balance between mental and physical health. The event runs from February 21 to 24, with a call to action for everyone to track their movement kilometers.
Assar Jõepera, the head of the Estonian Health Trails Organization, mentions that physical activity doesn't have to be complex or time-consuming; simple actions like walking or short skiing sessions can contribute to the challenge's goals. The campaign reflects a community spirit and contributes to promoting health awareness among Estonians while celebrating national pride.
