The Sole Sisters Women’s Race prides itself in being an event that celebrates active females of all ages and abilities. Whether you walk, run or jog, this race is about being part of an active, healthy community.

With this in mind, United by Running is very happy to announce that their race has obtained the support of Heart & Stroke Walkabout. An affiliate of the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, Heart & Stroke Walkabout strives to encourage walking as a means to develop a healthy lifestyle while connecting with friends and family. Their vision is to create a culture of walking and convey the message that walking can be a joyful way to get fit.

Heart & Stroke Walkabout jumped at the chance to provide support for the Sole Sisters Women’s Race as the event aligns closely with their philosophy. It’s not about how fast you can move, but about connecting with other women and enjoying the experience. All Sole Sisters walkers who stop by the Heart & Stroke Walkabout booth during race kit pick-up will receive a free surprise and the opportunity to learn more about their organization’s interactive website that helps individuals connect with other walkers, map out walking routes on Nova Scotian Streets and track their steps. See you there!
