National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) will award more than 100 participants in the 25th Annual Walkathon alongside the grand draw for two new Renault cars from Al Babtain Group. The Walkathon is scheduled to kick off on Saturday 7th, December 2019.

Titled “One Step Can Change Your Life”, NBK Walkathon this year will hold great surprises. Participants can register online, through NBKWalkathon.com. Applicants can then collect their assigned T-shirt and number at the NBK’s registration center at the Green Island parking on the Gulf Road starting from Thursday 28th of November. The number for each participant will contain a step-counting chip. The Walkathon will be held under the supervision of the referees of the Kuwait Amateur Athletic Federation (KAAF).

Abdul Mohsen Al Rushaid, NBK Public Relations Executive Manager said, "the participation in NBK’s Walkathon is increasing year after year, and we are extremely thrilled to take our involvement with this exciting event to a new level.”

“Our commitment towards being connected with the community is the reason why we feel it is important for us to maintain the Walkathon annually,” added Al Rushaid.

Ten winners will be selected from each of the 10 categories of participants.  NBK opened a racing category for participants aged 60 years old and above and a category for special needs participants to encourage a healthier lifestyle among all members of the society.

It is worth mentioning that, the walk for both the female and male participants will start from the Green Island on the Gulf Road to the Shuwaikh Beach Park, parallel to the Gulf Road, next to KPC building for a distance of 11 Km.

 NBK strongly supports sporting events and encourages sporting activities as means to promote a healthier and more active lifestyle for members of the community. Throughout the years, NBK also organized several social awareness programs including educational, environmental, health and many other active initiatives.
