The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is inviting residents, partners, and supporters to participate in the upcoming OECS Fun Walk, an event designed to promote wellness and regional unity.

The walk will happen on Thursday, June 18, beginning at 5:00 p.m. Participants will assemble at the Ministry of Health Headquarters, where the walk will start and end.

Members of the public are encouraged to register in advance and join fellow participants for an evening of fitness and fun. Registration is available online at: https://forms.gle/NzACZrDQMDv1CFWi8

T-shirts will be distributed at the opening of the fun walk, subject to size availability.

The event is part of the 45th OECS Anniversary activities, which are running under the theme "One Vision, One Voice: Navigating Challenges, Shaping Our Future." The event aims to strengthen connections across the region.

Since 2023, this annual fun walk has taken place in Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The 2026 edition is being hosted in collaboration with the Antigua and Barbuda Medical Benefits Scheme and the Geothermal Energy: Capacity Building for Utilization Investment and Local Development (GEOBUILD) Project.

The OECS welcomes individuals, families, community groups, and organisations to take part in this exciting activity.
