Building bridges into communities. This looks exciting. A great event with Runspire Together. No one left behind! Come and join us with your Nordic walking poles!
Runspire Together at the Waterside Bridge Community Celebration – Sunday 14 June.
We need as many volunteers and members as possible!
We’ve been invited to be part of the Waterside Bridge Community Celebration and we want to make this one of our biggest community challenges yet.
This is also a chance to show off our NEW Runspire Together events gazebo for the first time! ⛺✨ Come and say hello, find out more about what we do and help us create a great atmosphere.
Our challenge…

🥢 Nordic Walk
Take on our 2km loop and help us see how far Runspire Together can go together throughout the day.
We’ll be setting off in small groups at 30-minute intervals, with every lap added together into one final total.
Not taking part in the loop? We’d still love your help:
⛺ Help at the gazebo
💬 Chat to visitors about Runspire Together
📋 Help record distances
🎉 Cheer people on and create some community spirit
Plus…
🎯 Can You Guess the Distance? competition – guess our final total distance
🎁 Everyone who takes part will be entered into a prize draw
Whether you can stay all day or just join for 30 minutes, we’d love as many volunteers and members involved as possible.
Comment below, message us or speak to your group leader if you can definitely attend and whether you’d like to volunteer, join the challenge, or both.
Let’s make some noise, put our new gazebo to good use and show everyone what Runspire Together is all about.

Meet Catherine Hughes our British Nordic Walking CEO. Read her blog here. 😊
Not every career starts with a plan.
Sometimes it starts with wanting to help people move better, feel better, and spend more time outdoors.
From Boots HQ to BBC Radio 4, hospital wellbeing projects to the World Nordic Walking Championships in Finland, this latest blog shares one instructor’s 20-year journey through Nordic walking and why it became the career that finally felt right.
If you’ve ever thought about turning your passion for health, fitness, walking, or people into something more, this is well worth a read.
And yes… there has also been plenty of coffee and cake along the way.
