To help you build your fitness and endurance for The Weekend to End Breast Cancer, we organize hundreds of volunteer-led training walks of varying lengths and difficulties. It’s a great way to get in shape and connect with your community of Walkers. We post the schedule of training walks below. All you have to do is show up and enjoy the fresh air and good company. In the event of bad weather, contact the walk leader to find out if it has been cancelled.
If you are interested in being a Training Walk Leader, call us at 317.879.WALK (9255) or click here to sign up. As a Training Walk Leader you'll just tell us what time and place you want to meet at and we'll post it on the website for Walkers to see and RSVP to. Then show up 5 minutes early to your walk and lead the pack on a beautiful outing.
When There's a Chill in the Air…
Training in the chilly months can be just as doable as in the spring when you stick to your guns and decide, "I'm going to walk today." Try the treadmill at your gym or walk the length of your local mall and back. Or walk with a friend. It helps to have walking buddies to add to the fun!
