Nordic walking groups schedule in 2019

Nordic Walking Guy wants you to Nordic walk with your family and friends, old and new! Join us for an occasional walking group excursion to sample what Nordic walking is all about. Then form your own walking groups and work out together.
  • No charge for the sampler; poles provided.
  • Dress for the weather, and bring your water.

How many Nordic walking groups can we start?

Join Nordic Walking Together and share your experiences.
