What is WSWA,
concretely, today?

A registered nonprofit, one clear rule, a public registry and a community of walkers making progress every day.

Core values
📅

Consistency

The walking streak rests on a simple principle: what counts is what was actually done.

🤝

Integrity

The honour declaration as a foundation. Like SRI/USRSA for 25 years: your word is your commitment.

Why trust, not surveillance →
🌍

Community

A community open to all profiles: beginners, seniors, athletes, occasional or very regular walkers.

3.2 km — Become a streaker
3.2 km
≈ 2 miles
🌐
Inspired by a historic principle

Inspired by the SRI/USRSA daily running-streak principle (25 years old), adapted by WSWA to a 3.2 km walking practice.

👣
≈ 4,000 steps

Roughly, depending on stride length — a concrete way to build more movement into your day, achievable from day one.

⏱️
≈ 35–40 minutes

At a moderate intensity, a daily walk of this length can contribute to WHO's weekly physical activity recommendations (150–300 min/week).

♿
Accessible to many profiles

Designed to stay simple and achievable for a wide range of people, according to their abilities and situation.

One daily objective: validate at least one outing of 3.2 km or more. Your health and safety always come first — the WSWA rule does not replace medical advice.

Our journey — key milestones
Act I

Why daily walking?

Walking is the simplest habit for long-term health. 3.2 km a day — about 35 minutes — is accessible to almost everyone.

Act II

Why a federation?

Running has had streak registries for 25 years. Walking deserved its own: certifications, public registry, official community.

Act III

Why now?

WSWA launched on 19 March 2026. You can be a founding member — every day counts from the very beginning.
