The Department of Sport, Arts and Culture will host one of its healthy lifestyle flagship events on Sunday – the National Big Walk.
The Big Walk is one of the department’s healthy lifestyle flagship programmes with the intention to inspire the public to take up the practice of walking as means of achieving a healthy lifestyle.
The National Big Walk event is held annually every October to coincide with the World Walking Month.
“The Big Walk has seen massive growth since its debut back in 2012 by gradually turning into a 365-day call for action being led by the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture with the objective of urging all South African citizens to choose an active lifestyle,” the department said on Wednesday.
Sunday’s walk will be hosted under the theme “IChoose2BActive, how about you?”.
The event will commence at Fleur Primary School and finish off at Fountains Valley Pretoria, with 5km, 10km, and 15km routes that end with an aerobics session and live musical performances.
