Whatever your current activity level or fitness goals, Nordic Walking could be the perfect exercise for you. Nordic Walking enhances the natural walking movement. Strong, lightweight one-piece poles activate the upper body muscles, burning more calories, improving posture and reducing stress on joints. Check our Classes section for Workshops and Trials near you.

The Stirling Sports Half Marathon and 11km Run & Walk is organised by the Calliope Athletic and Harrier Club Inc

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the Stirling Sports event. All participants did well with many people improving their finishing times.

Jenny was one of our Nordic Walkers who took part in the Training Squad Classes and was very pleased with her performance:

Hi June,

I have just got home and checked ... I did it (half marathon) 10 minutes faster than last year - Thank you. I really enjoyed the training and as you can see from my time improvement it certainly benefited me. Even if I d done a slower time, I would still do the training again, because, after all, it s how you are on the day. But of course you had prepared us well to be ok on the day. Within a shortened built-up time, you put together a really interesting and enjoyable training schedule which certainly helped us develop stamina and improve our speed. Also you gave us valuable pointers on our technique. It was great going to different parts of Auckland and meeting new people to train with and the supportive bond that everyone had for each other. So thank you and Paul for all your help and support - it was great.

Kind regards,

Jenny McKenzie

The farm features sculpture artworks of a stupendous size and is just wonderful to see. The farm is not open always to the public and registration is essential so please book through the website. Allow a few hours, wear your good walking boots and take your Nordic Walking poles, it s an experience not to be missed.
