Race For Life
A group of local ladies from the Olney area are soon to be amongst the first in the UK to ‘Nordic walk’ the race for life charity event in aid of Cancer research. The ladies will be tackling the 5km route
in Milton Keynes on 31st May as part of a series of events across the nation in which participants typically run or walk.
“The race organisers recognise that not everybody can mange to run comfortably and yet feel walking is less of a challenge so they have given special permission for groups to use Nordic Walking poles this year,” says Helen Johannsen, Olney based Nordic walking Instructor. “The local ladies have been learning the technique and building their fitness levels really quickly and they are delighted to be taking part and raising money as well as awareness of this fantastic activity,” she adds. If you would like to join the ladies and Nordic Walk the Race for life, there is still time to get started and Helen would be delighted to help you on your way!
