Walk your heart out
The Skechers Friendship Walk 2021 Online Edition is back for a friendly and fun experience.Organised by sports and lifestyle brand Skechers for the fourth year running, you can expect the same fun and rewards from the previous years.
This year’s Friendship Walk will be held from 30 July to 19 September 2021, during which participants can accumulate steps on their fitness tracker or device to reach different step goals across the two-week period within the event period.
That's a good way to stay active even as we are staying home more often these days, if you ask us.
First held in Malaysia in 2017, the Skechers Friendship Walk was transformed into an online Walk format last year, where 10,000 participants joined in to track their walk distance in the span of the one-month event.
Many also posted moments of their walk with friends and family, exploring their neighbourhood or even scenic and nature trails around Malaysia.
As such, Ms Zann Lee, Vice President of Skechers Southeast Asia, said they've decided to stick with the virtual format for this year's Friendship Walk due to the success of the previous edition.
"The virtual format we have adopted since last year has allowed more flexibility, as participants can join with their friends and family even though they may be physically apart. We look forward to creating a memorable experience for participants to keep active and spend precious time with their loved ones," she said in a statement.
