Walk the Talk: The Health for All Challenge

As part of celebrations of the World Health Organization’s 70th anniversary in 2018, WHO organized a health promotion event in Geneva on the eve of the 71st World Health Assembly on 20 May 2018.

The free walk/run event, titled Walk the Talk: The Health for All Challenge, was open to people of all ages and abilities and held over three distances (short 3 kilometres, medium 5 kilometres and long 8 kilometres). These connected routes built a bridge between “international” and “local” Geneva and Lac Leman by linking key health, international and touristic landmarks found in the city.

The aim of the event was to raise awareness of work and goal of WHO and other global health agencies and promote physical activity as par tof the healthy sustainable future.
