It is a family event held annually on Independence Day to encourage healthy living among Ghanaians.

Mr. Edward Boateng, Executive Chairman of Global Media Alliance, owners of Happy Fm, said the lack of exercise and physical training among majority of Ghanaians were creating many health-related problems, including deaths.

Therefore, he said, it was important to organise such walks.

?We are all very familiar with the routine and demands of everyday living and how it often spares little or no time at all for families to meet, relax and have fun,? he stated.

?We, therefore, urge all families to pick up registration forms and participate in this worthy healthy and socially beneficial event?.

Mr Salah Kweku Kalmoni, Director of Lakeside Estates, urged all to participate in the event, which is a six-kilometre-walk from Lakeside Marina Park at Ashaley Botwe in Accra.

Mr Emmanuel Akrumah, General Manager, Happy Fm, explained that the public could register for the event as individuals or in groups.

He said awards would be given to the fastest man, woman, child aged 12 and below, teenager, fastest 50 plus year-old, fastest family, Chief Executive Officer and the fastest corporate team.

?It is a family event and I will urge all to take part in the impending walk coming on March 6, ? he said.
