Around 500 people took part in the third annual Nordic Walk & Run on 15 November in Benjakitti Park, organised by the embassies of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden in collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.
The event aimed to promote a healthy and sustainable Nordic lifestyle and showcased Nordic companies contributing to green solutions and wellbeing. It was held as a fully plastic-free event, reflecting the Nordic countries’ climate ambitions.
“We Nordics love nature and are always surrounded by it,” says Finnish Ambassador Kristiina Kuvaja, who emphasised the importance of encouraging people to move and take care of their health.
Danish Ambassador Danny Annan highlighted the link between wellbeing and urban planning, noting that “It’s important to build cities that encourage people to walk, run, and enjoy the outdoors.”
The event was supported by sponsors including AstraZeneca, Ecco, Finnair, KONE, LINAK, Novo Nordisk, Pandora, SAAB, Tetra Pak, Valmet and Yara.
