Save Soil Walkathon / Eventbrite
James Madison Park in Madison, WI, hosted its 2026 Save Soil Walkathon. The event was part of a coordinated series in 40 cities across North America. The walkathon supported the Save the Soil Movement, a global campaign started by Sadhguru, founder of Isha Foundation.
Building on this coordinated effort, the Walkathon aimed to raise awareness about soil degradation and advocate for regenerative practices to secure food security and environmental health for future generations.
The family-friendly gathering featured live music, cultural performances, dance, interactive activities, and soil health information sessions. Participants were encouraged to wear green/white or Save Soil merchandise.
