About the Nelson Women's Activator Series
Take part in one or more of a series of training and information sessions to get women active and involved in summer events.
Get fit and get into swimming, mountain biking, running and walking, sea swimming, road cycling, and even triathlons. There are weekly training sessions covering differing sports. Alongside these training sessions participants can attend information sessions on nutrition, how to purchase and wear the correct clothing and footwear, and stretching and injury prevention.
The Women's Activator Series aims to be an affordable way to introduce women to a new physical activity. You can focus on one of the sporting activities on offer, or work on several and build up completing a 10km Run/Walk, a half marathon or even the Taylors Nelson Womens Triathlon.

If you live in the city then don't forget about the NBS Nelson Striders Running and Walking club. They are all very friendly and are renowned for helping people achieve their goals in completing 10km, half or full marathons. Their walking group on Tuesday night is great for beginners and the policy is to always look after everyone - no one is ever left behind. Their runners are mixed in ability - their is sometimes some speedsters there, but the majority are just joggers wanting company to pound the streets and trails around Nelson. Give them a go - Tuesday nights at 5.45pm. They meet in the carpark opposite the Suter Art Gallery in Bridge Street. If you have any queries then give Averil a call on 548 3655.

Diane - have you thought about going along to the Nelson Striders group on a Tuesday evening? They have a good group of women (and a few men) that enjoy each other's company walking around the trails and streets of Nelson. Or you can join in with their jogging group if you prefer. They all meet at the same time - 5.45pm on Tuesday nights.
ReplyDeleteThanks for suggesting the Nelson Striders club Amanda. I went along tonight and had a great time. They are a friendly group of people who make you feel very welcome. To all those active women out there I recommend you give it a go.
