Summer Walking Campaign 2026
Take a step toward well-being – walk your municipality to victory!
In the Summer 2026 Walking Campaign, residents aged 65 and over can improve their fitness and collect walking activities for their municipality. Municipalities will compete based on the number of participants joining the campaign. The campaign is jointly organized by the West Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County and the region’s ten municipalities.
You can participate:
- independently whenever it suits you
- with a friend or spouse
- in a relaxed and encouraging group
You can also participate using a rollator or other mobility aid.
With regular walking, you can:
- strengthen your muscles and balance
- support your heart health
- refresh your mind and improve your sleep
Anyone can join — all it takes is suitable clothing and walking at a pace that feels right for you.
The campaign runs from 1 June to 31 August 2026. Walking cards will be distributed by municipality, for example in libraries as well as at various events and groups. Record the amount of time you spend walking each day in minutes on your walking card.
Return your walking card by 15 September to one of the facilities listed below to ensure that your performances are counted for your municipality. Prizes will be raffled among those who return a walking card. The prize draw will be conducted in week 41, after which the winners will be contacted directly.
