24 The Planet

The concept of 24 The Planet is straightforward: participants, supported by friends and family, walk nonstop for 24 hours in a central park to raise funds to fight global climate change.

This year, we’ll be walking for 24 hours in Amsterdam, Budapest, and New York. Our goal is to raise EUR 150,000 to regreen dry and degraded land in Africa.

By regreening our planet, we can cool it down and offset global climate change.

24 The Planet is not a race; walkers determine their own pace. Our “slowest” walker covered 32 miles (52 KM), while our “fastest” walker completed 72 miles (116 KM). The commitment is to walk for 24 hours, with short breaks permitted.

To make the 24-hour walk more engaging, we host a mini event every two to three hours. We feature keynote speakers, conduct breathwork sessions, offer guided meditation hours, host a silent disco, organize a dog-walking session, invite a marching band to perform, and celebrate the halfway mark with a 12-hour event. Additionally, we provide family-style meals, and in the final hours, a mobile DJ booth plays uplifting beats to keep us motivated.

24 The Planet fosters a social challenge where walking becomes a catalyst for profound and impactful conversations. Walking for 24 hours cultivates a strong sense of camaraderie among participants, forging unique bonds. In moments of doubt, there’s always someone to uplift each other.

As the walk is held in Central Park, friends and family continuously rally to support walkers, even during the wee hours.

At our last edition in Amsterdam, over 400 people joined our 50 walkers!

We have had professional athletes and walkers that hadn’t trained at all make it to the finish line. It’s all about mindset.

Leading up to the event we recommend to walk as much as possible and try to squeeze in at least one longer walk of 6+ hours to prepare.

All of the money that we raise are donated to an NGO called Justdiggit. Justdiggit regreens dry and degraded land in Africa and literally cools down our planet.

Global climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our lifetime.

Luckily there is still something we can do about.
