1st Nordic walking and hiking festival in Samobor "Towards health"

The 1st Nordic Walking and Hiking Festival in Samobor that we organized is now behind us. We are more than satisfied with the response from visitors, and we hope that all participants were satisfied with the organization. Of course we will do our best to make it even better next year. All participants had the opportunity to measure their blood sugar and blood pressure before start, aided by volunteers from the Samobor Red Cross City Society, who also had teams on each track to assist participants in case of a need.

The festival itself was attended by 250 participants who had the opportunity to choose from one of the three offered tracks of different length and intensity. This year's participants were from Ozana Zagreb, School of Health Brežice Slovenia, Pensioners’ Convention of Karlovac, Nordic walking club Varaždin, Association of nordic walking and hiking Drava, Society for sports recreation Jastreb Extreme , Pensioner's club Prelog, Sport for all Zagreb, Hiking society Bregana, and individual participants from Istria. We are very pleased with such a great response as this is the first year that we organized this festival and we are inviting all to return next year in even higher number. 

We wish to express gratitude to our sponsors for their support - the Samobor Sports Association, the Samobor Tourist Board, the Samobor Red Cross City Society, the Samobor Museum, the Croatian Federation of Nordic Walking, the Gazette of the City of Samobor and Sveta Nedelja, Privredna banka Zagreb, and Radio Samobor, which was covering entire event from the start.
