Thousands of walkers in Kortrijk for Flanders Walks

An anniversary also calls for a guest of honor and that is radio icon and walking ambassador Sven Ornelis. At the starting point in Marke he presented his book “Why Walking”. Sven Ornelis lost a lot of weight by walking, now it has become a real passion. In “Why Walk” you can follow his trail to lose weight.

All distances

Participating in a walk is more than sporty performance. Pushers go for the fifty kilometers. And you have a lot of choice in between. The bon vivants of the Lauwse Sportgroep Vaste Vuist go for the six kilometres. An amplifier is served halfway through.

Organizer WSK Marke speaks of three thousand walkers starting today. And that’s no surprise. Many people tasted the benefits of walking during the corona. Wandelsport Vlaanderen has 63,000 members and there are more than ever.
