During ACES GALA event, we officially unveiled the outstanding outcomes of the #EUAPPTIVE #BeActive Challenge 2025, which ran from July 1 to September 30, 2025. Participants were encouraged to integrate just 15 minutes of daily physical activity into their everyday routines, a simple action that generated remarkable results.Impact by the numbers:
- 26,767 km total distance walked
- 192 km average per participant (approx. 2.3 km per day)
- 4,610 kg of CO₂ emissions avoided, with an average saving of 33 kg per participant
These figures go far beyond statistics, they represent a tangible contribution to health, inclusion, sustainability, and social cohesion, demonstrating that active ageing is both achievable and impactful.A special highlight of the ceremony was the award presentation to the top three performing municipalities, whose commitment and engagement stood out:

- 3rd Place: Kayseri (Türkiye) EUUAPTIVE project partners congratulate the winners and all participants, who proved that age is no barrier to an active, healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
