The 5th edition of Walk the Talk - Health for All will take place this Sunday 26 May. Focus will be on the importance of physical activity, mental health, disease prevention, and access to healthcare for all. The event is free, open to participants from all backgrounds, and can be done on foot, running, or in a wheelchair.
A multitude of celebrated personalities will join in to help promote the message, including WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, Swiss Paralympic athlete Marcel Hug, legendary Spanish basketball player Pau Gasol, Kenyan Olympic champion David Rudisha, President of the International Paralympic Committee Andrew Parsons, and football superstar and WHO Goodwill Ambassador Didier Drogba.
Pre-event activities and warm-ups start from 8AM on the Sunday. There will be live music and a dance performance on stage, followed by the opening ceremony. Afterwards, participants will start one of the two proposed routes of either 3km or 4.2km, which will lead runners through the Rive Droite of Geneva, passing by the headquarters of the World Health Organization. Please register in advance to complete the course.
Alongside the race, there will be a sports village with plenty of booths to learn more and get inspiration on a healthier lifestyle.
