Another sports event that will get Veszprém moving: National Walking Day is coming up on August 13

What if, in just one day, we could do something for our health, meet new people along the way, and even discover one of the most beautiful parts of Veszprém?

National Walking Day offers an excellent opportunity for this, welcoming interested participants on August 13, 2026 at the Kolostorok and Kertek event grounds in Veszprém.

The Sarolta Monspart Foundation for a Healthy Lifestyle (MoSa) and MOSA Walking Club, is a free, all-day event celebrating an active lifestyle, health preservation, and the community experiences. The organizers are expecting nearly 800 participants who, together, can demonstrate that physical activity can be a source of joy at any age.

Starting in the morning, the event offers exciting programs for families, groups of friends, and anyone who wants to unwind through physical activity. In addition to expert presentations and health screenings, visitors can also try out numerous forms of exercise: nordic walking, nature walks, senior &recreational dance, dance therapy, senior gymnastics, and the NeuroVitál Movement Mix. The day will feature a walking tour of the city’s history, as well as games, exhibits, and community programs.

The highlight of the event is the 5-kilometer walk starting at 2:45 p.m., preceded by a group warm-up. The route leads through picturesque Séd Valley, where the closeness of nature and the shared experience of movement energize participants.

One of the most important messages of National Walking Day is that exercise is not a competition, but an opportunity. An opportunity to do something for our health, to take a break from our daily routines, and to share the experience when hundreds of people set out on the same path at the same time.
