Nwana Movement Series
About the Event
The NWANA Movement Series is a recurring virtual challenge platform for Nordic Walking, Walking, and Running across North America.
Each week, participants choose a challenge, represent a team, complete their activity, and submit their result. The series is built to grow participation, weekly rankings, city teams, club teams, corporate teams, and the future athlete pathway for Nordic Walking in North America.
This is not a one-time charity walk. This is a sports movement platform for athletes, beginners, seniors, clubs, teams, and communities who want to help build Nordic Walking as a visible and organized sport across the United States and North America.
Participants may complete a 5K, 10K, or Open Distance challenge. Manual activity submission is accepted during each weekly challenge window. Fundraising is optional and helps NWANA expand education, local groups, instructor development, athlete participation, rankings, and future sanctioned events.
