Wandelsport Vlaanderen vzw

2. Wandelsportfederatie Wandelsport Vlaanderen is the umbrella organization of over 320 Flemish walking clubs, which guarantee an annual offer of over 1,200 walking tours. Through its walking platform wandel.be, the federation also wants to get as many people as possible moving through walking. So the non-profit organization knows better than anyone how important exercise is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, not least in the context of prevention for breast cancer.

To get as many people walking as possible, Pink Ribbon established several walking groups. Each group is accompanied by a Pinky Pioneer or walking coach. To train these people to become well-prepared coaches, Pink Ribbon was able to call on Wandelsport Vlaanderen vzw. Via the 'Start 2 Coach' training, some 20 ladies were prepared to become walking coaches and Pink Ribbon.  

Since 2023, Pink Ribbon has had a fixed appointment with Wandelsport Vlaanderen vzw in Maasmechelen. Then the two non-profit organizations will jointly organize the Walk for Pink Ribbon. The walking event will take place in Hoge Kempen National Park and will offer routes from 3 to 34 kilometers. Thanks to the support of Wandelsport Vlaanderen vzw, the Walk for Pink Ribbon is an event with a growing success. In 2025, as many as 2,700 walkers participated. We are already curious to see if this number of participants will be exceeded on May 25, 2026.

With an eye toward getting enough exercise, Pink Ribbon also organizes The Pink Walk twice a year . This is a walking challenge in which you have to take as many steps as possible every day. Wandelsport Vlaanderen vzw is also a loyal partner in this project, activating its target group and supporting the communication campaign.
