Steps Challenge as part of the EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK 2025

Bocholt - This year, citizens of legal age can take part in the EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK by collecting steps. From 16 to 22 September, the steps taken can be recorded using the WALK15 app. A total of three prizes will be awarded to people with the most registered steps.

European Mobility Week takes place annually from 16 to 22 September. The aim is to raise awareness of sustainable mobility and encourage citizens to use environmentally friendly means of transport or to walk wherever possible.

The health benefits of physical activity also play a major role here. This year, the city of Bocholt's participation in the Europe-wide walking challenge will combine the ideas of sustainability and health. Ahaus, Borken, Rhede and Südlohn from the Borken district are also taking part in the campaign.
