At the core of this endeavour is the fervent dedication of the event’s organiser, Lohra de Waal, who exudes an infectious passion for propelling this newfound sport into the heart of South Africa’s active pursuits. She said, “I am passionate about this new sport in South Africa. I really want to grow it and introduce it to people of all ages and fitness levels.” With an unwavering commitment to fostering a sense of unity and well-being within the community, De Waal earnestly urges residents to rally together, underlining that this event is a harmonious convergence for families spanning generations, from sprightly youngsters as young as five to seasoned individuals in their golden years, up to the age of 90.

The indispensable walking poles are central to the Nordic walking experience, an essential component that De Waal encourages all participants to equip themselves with. Recognising the diversity of participants, De Waal extends a gracious offering: “I will rent mine for R100 per set to those who don’t have.” These walking poles, she explains, are ingeniously designed to navigate the undulating terrains, offering vital support during both ascents and descents. Moreover, their utilisation elevates cardiovascular endurance conditioning, enriching the fitness journey of every participant.

De Waal generously extends her expertise to all attendees to ensure seamless integration into the Nordic walking technique. Before the event, she is poised to impart the correct cross-country skiing technique—a gesture poised to empower participants with confidence and proficiency.

For those who yearn to be part of this groundbreaking occasion, De Waal extends a warm invitation through the digital realm. To express interest or seek further details, prospective participants are encouraged to contact her via WhatsApp at 082 579 1631.

In summation, the Korsmans Bird Sanctuary stands on the cusp of an unprecedented event, a convergence of passion, unity, and well-being through the conduit of Nordic walking. With its inclusive ethos, guided instruction, and the sanctuary’s natural beauty as its backdrop, this occasion not only introduces an invigorating sport but also represents a step towards enhancing both physical vitality and communal spirit.
