The tradition of walking sports is an integral part of Alytus, so I am very glad that for the 48th time we can invite professionals and enthusiasts of this sport not only from Lithuania, but also from all the world to gather in the World Walking Sports Festival, which this year will take place on the 20th of May.
The opportunity to hold a championship of that level in Alytus for us is both a gift and a duty - we are very happy that in 1974 Kastytis Pavilonis, the current president of Lithuanian Walking Sports Association, initiated the first Alytus Walking Sports Festival, and the duty is to cherish and to support it, that Alytus City Municipality always strives to do.
See you in Alytus!
Nerijus Cesiulis
The Mayor of Alytus city
