Urban Adventure 2025 – Chișinău joins the challenge

After the success of last year, Chișinău is launching the second edition of the “Urban Adventure” contest, encouraging residents to walk, cycle or use e-scooters between 16 and 22 September, as part of the European Mobility Week. The initiative is organized by the EU-funded project MOVE IT like Lublin and implemented by Chișinău City Hall.

Participants are invited to stay active every day, record their movement with a fitness app such as Google Fit, Strava or Apple Health, and submit screenshots for all seven days in a single email to emw2025@mill.md by 22 September, 20:00. Each participant must complete a minimum of 3,000 steps or 3 km per day.

The contest aims to promote healthier lifestyles, reduce pollution and contribute to a greener city for all.

Attractive prizes will be awarded in three categories – walking, cycling and e-scooter. Winners will receive cash prizes, sets of vitamins, e-scooter ride vouchers, free public transport passes, and other surprises.

In addition, throughout European Mobility Week, we will carry out an extensive awareness campaign on our social media channels, inspiring people to rethink their daily journeys. The campaign will emphasize the importance of this European initiative, encourage reducing car dependency, and promote healthier, eco-friendly lifestyle choices that benefit both the city and its residents.
