About Walk of Health
The Walk of Health is a 36-kilometre (22 mi) long concrete walkway that runs alongside the Kopet Dag mountain range in southern Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, near the Iran–Turkmenistan border. The first 8 km (5.0 mi) of the path was constructed in 1999 by dictator Saparmurat Niyazov, with the intent of encouraging citizens to be healthy. It officially opened on 2 January 2000. Until Niyazov's death in 2006, he required his ministers to walk the entire length of the walkway once every year.
