We investigate the 2-d O(3) model with a q-term as a toy model for slowly walking 4-d non-Abelian gauge theories. Using the very efficient meron-cluster algorithm, an accurate investigation of the scale dependence of the renormalized coupling is carried out for different values of the vacuum angle q. Approaching q = p, the infrared dynamics of the 2-d O(3) model is determined by a non-trivial conformal fixed point. We provide evidence for a slowly walking behavior near the fixed point and we perform a finite-size scaling analysis of the mass gap.
