Τhe NOC of Albania organized a dedicated event on the World Walking Day, to promote sport for all through walking, but also the opportunity to hand down messages of peace and hope through sport.

Many athletes and Olympians came to support the movement by joining the collective march and encouraging people who were around the event to practice physical activity by donating some T-shirts.

The event consisted of a 2km walking by stopping in 9 different sports activities such as Canoeing, Cycling, Basketball, Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, Running, Long Jump, and Archery.
