Events

INWA’s focus, when it began, was to develop high-quality education. Nordic Walking was seen as a “fitness and exercise activity” rather than as a sport. Now Nordic Walkers are looking at different ways to use the activity for competitive sport, group walks, tours and other events that celebrate or display Nordic Walking.

Accordingly, INWA has set up an “Events Committee” that works with members and others organisers to develop, plan and present a range of events.

INWA Events:

INWA Convention

World Nordic Walking Day

Competitive Sport

Walking Tours

INWA Convention

The INWA Convention, usually held in October, is INWA’s premier event for members, trainers and instructors. There are always excellent presentations and workshops delivered by experts. The INWA Annual General Meeting is held the day before the Convention begins.

Additionally, there are social events that enable participants to renew acquaintances and friendships and make new ones.

The 2017 INWA Convention will be held in Jurmala, Latvia from 04th till 8th of October.

This year’s Convention will be jointly hosted by INWA Latvia and promises to be a very interesting event. 

As always, also this year we will have the AGM on the 5th of October 10:00 am and we encourage your active participation in this. We look forward to receiving your agenda items so that your topics can be discussed by all of INWA’s members

World Nordic Walking Day

World Nordic Walking Day is held in May each year. It is an opportunity for members, clubs and Nordic Walkers to join together in a range of events to celebrate Nordic Walking.

There are competitions for:

  • The most walkers
  • The best photo
  • The oldest and youngest Nordic Walker

Competitive Sport

These include:

  • Local or National championships
  • Racing series such as the Polish Cup held in different locations over a number of races and dates.
  • Specialist events such as the 100m Hill Climb competitions held in Japan.
  • Participation in other races where Nordic Walkers join runners and general walkers over distances ranging from marathons to 5km.
  • Nordic Walking races such as the Mühlbauer Foundation event which is supported by the GNFA and PFNW.

Walking Tours

INWA is keen to develop a range of non-competitive walking events and tours. It is currently working with members to develop this programme.
