“Now that the weather is getting better, it’s even more of an incentive to get outside. With the Hitta Kick-off we put our new exercise app in the spotlight and let everyone get acquainted with the 3 new routes. The Hitta exercise app is certainly not just for sporty joggers, everyone can do part of a route at their own pace or map out a tailor-made route via a number of points,” says Charlie Van Leuffel, district alderman for Sport and Innovation (N-VA ). “We don’t want to get more residents moving in this way.”
breakfast voucher
One Kick-off checkpoint has been placed in each postcode of the Antwerp district. During the Kick-off, ambassadors Tine Embrechts and Sofie Goos will randomly draw a winner per Hita Kick-off checkpoint from everyone who has found the checkpoint at 11 a.m. Residents of the zip codes 2000, 2018, 2020, 2030, 2050 and 2060 can search for the checkpoint in their neighborhood until Friday 18 March and have a chance to win one of the breakfast vouchers.
