Nordic Walking 1/2 Marathon starts June 6th!

Are you a seasoned marathon participant looking to finish another? Have you ever wanted to do a half marathon and don't know where to start? Whether you've tried Nordic Walking before or not, sign up for our 10 week half marathon training program and set a goal for yourself to walk across the finish line on Sunday August 14th at Marathon By The Sea here in Saint John.

Last year over 40 Nordic Walkers crossed the finish line and this year we are looking to add to it.

The 10 week program is based on a 6 day a week training schedule.  You don't need to be an avid walker participate, the program is designed to start slow and build up pace and endurance as well as incorporate hill and speed training over the coming weeks so that you will be able to complete the half marathon on August 14th.

By registering for the program you have access to a trainer 4 days a week. A trainer is available in the Valley on Mondays, at Rockwood Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays and at the Irving Nature Park on Saturdays.  You'll also receive a training manual, guest speakers (nutritionist, physiotherapist, and motivational speaker) as well as access to one on one support for training and nutrition advice.

Program cost is only $50 + tax. Set a goal to walk across the 1/2 marathon finish line this August 14th and register for the training program today! Visit us as DayTripping in the lower level of the Lily Lake Pavillion in Rockwood Park or register online here
