🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Our Running with Poles Course is well underway! 🥢

The weather may be miserable, but that hasn’t stopped today’s Running with Poles course.

Participants are learning key pole techniques for climbing, descending and moving efficiently across varied terrain before putting those skills straight into practice on the trails. A wet day in the hills is often the best time to discover what really works.
