National Walking Day in Ireland is celebrated as the culmination of National Walking Week, which takes place during European Week of Sport and falls on Sunday 28 September 2025. The event encourages people of all ages and abilities to get involved in walking for health, well-being, and community connection, with various themed activities and events scheduled throughout the preceding week. You can participate by organizing your own walk, joining a community event, or sharing your journey on social media using the hashtag #NationalWalkingDay.
We’re asking everyone to celebrate National Walking Day across Ireland by participating in one or more of our themed walking days during our walking week of celebrations.
