Borderless Friendship March

The unique Borderless Friendship Walk – 2 Cities, 1 Heart.

Join us for the unique Borderless Friendship March – 2 Cities, 1 Heart, which will symbolically connect Nova Gorica and Gorizia for the third year in a row. Enriched with other sports and cultural interventions, the event revives the tradition of the legendary walk from the 1970s and 1980s, when thousands of people crossed the border once a year without being checked. Today, as the two cities are building a new future together, the march remains a symbol of collaboration, healthy lifestyle and community. You can choose among the 7, 12 or 16 km route, all while enjoying a rich programme! Numerous sports associations from both sides of the border will also participate in the event, as well as delegations from sister city Klagenfurt and from Chemnitz, the other European Capital of Culture of 2025.
