From Fitness Walk to Health Platform
WalkHeartOn has, over the past decade, grown beyond a traditional fitness walk. The initiative has become a platform for encouraging Nigerians to pay greater attention to their hearts and incorporate movement into their lifestyles.
Commenting on the 10th edition, Roland Akpe, Marketing Manager, Oils and Fats Portfolio at Tolaram, said, “Ten years of WalkHeartOn is ten years of Nigerians choosing to show up for their hearts. At Power Oil, we believe heart health is a lifestyle, shaped by what we eat, how active we are and the choices we make every day. World Heart Day gives us an important opportunity to reinforce that message, and WalkHeartOn allows us to bring it to life by getting Nigerians moving, connecting and taking those healthy steps together.”
Activities and Broader Commitment
The 10th edition featured fitness sessions, health checks, games, refreshments, music and entertainment, creating an atmosphere where wellness and enjoyment came together. For Power Oil, the initiative forms part of its broader commitment to encouraging healthier choices and promoting heart health among Nigerians.
The turnout at this year’s event demonstrates the continued interest in activities that make fitness and wellness accessible and engaging. With a decade now completed, WalkHeartOn has established itself as more than an annual event. It has become a recurring reminder that caring for your heart can begin with something as simple as taking a walk.
