During the walk, all those willing will be able to learn Nordic walking together (with an instructor) and check their health.
There will be a medical zone in the park, where participants can measure their blood pressure, check their blood sugar level, consult a family doctor and an infectious disease specialist. Anyone interested will be able to determine their body mass index and receive advice on healthy eating.
