Every person who likes to be healthy, happy, and experience less stress has to make at least 10 000 steps every day in medium pace (citation missing…). Unfortunately, average office (and lab) working person typically makes only 3000 – 5000 steps, and that is not enough.

In order to bring the numbers up, our university organizes annual competition “Iga kilomeeter loeb!” (Every kilometer counts!) that promotes moving around on foot, without any vehicle. Both the students and employees can participate.
