Nordic Walking Olympic Challenge

The Olympics will be here this August 2012 and we have a special Olympic challenge for you!  It’s 169.0 miles from Cowbridge to the Olympic Stadium in London.   How far can you walk over the next 7 months?  We’ll log your distance and the first member to achieve the 169.0 miles will receive a prize.  All miles will be added to your profile and we’ll chart the journey for you along the M4 corridor; first stop is Cardiff.  In order to get to London by August 2012 you’ll need to walk 24.0 miles per month or 6 miles per week. Check out our Suunto watches to record your time, speed and heart rate too!
