Due to Coronavirus COVID-19 closures and social distancing guidelines, the weekly RWNW Club Walks have been cancelled until further notice.  Stay safe everyone!

Racewalkers NW COVID-19 Walking Challenge

We’re launching a COVID-19 Walking Challenge.  Anyone is welcome to participate, but only members of Racewalkers NW are eligible for prizes. (Hint, hint, you can still become a member).

Here’s how it works!

Every Wednesday, we’ll tell you about this week’s walking challenge. The goal is that this challenge would happen on Saturday or Sunday in lieu of a club walk, but as long as you let us know you completed the challenge before the next one is announced you will be entered for a prize. 

Send us a photo of you completing the challenge at racewalkersnw@gmail.com or post on our Racewalkers NW Facebook page. We’ll have a post with the weekly challenge and you can even post on that thread. 
 At the conclusion of Covid19 social distancing, we’ll do a drawing, one prize for each week of the challenge, so if you join us late, we'll let you catch up.  You can still submit your proof of completion until the end of the contest.  You’ll be entered for each challenge you complete. Some sample prizes are gift cards for smoothies, coffee or activewear, and of course, RWNW swag!
 The first challenge is a Drills Challenge. It’s important to always warm up, so complete these Drills as your Warm up to our challenge. Send us an email with a photo or post to our Facebook page letting us know you’ve completed your drills by end of day April 7th to be entered to win.
Drills: 
  • Single arm circle
  • Double windmill
  • Hip drop
  • Long arms
​Videos of the Drills are posted on Facebook.
