In an interview, Merqury Quaye, the founder of DJs Union of Ghana (DJUGA), said the purpose was to help maintain the healthy lifestyle of their members, patrons and partners.
"This also gives us opportunity to socialize and interact with our colleagues and connect with our favorite DJs," he added.
DJUGA's Vice President, Hubert Kofi Anti, said the Union is conducting a poll on social media stating that the continuity of the walk quarterly or annually will be based on feedback from the community.
"Our understanding is that, most of our DJs, both on radio and the ones who play at parties, hardly dedicate time to exercising and we believe this exercise goes a long way to change that culture for the benefit of our cherished members since health, as we all know, is wealth," he added.
Reverend Azigiza, Patron of the Union, advised the participants on the need to exercise consistently.
The DJs Union Of Ghana (DJUGA) Health Walk is the first of its kind for Disc Jockeys to be held anywhere in the world. All Covid-19 protocols were observed.
