Wildstride Race Series 10k Run/Hike
Take a walk on the WILDSTRIDE! Happy Cat Fitness believes in strength training alongside running/hiking. Let's combine the two! The 10k (6.2 mile) event will combine bodyweight strength exercises with hiking and/or running intervals. It will feature 6 low impact (modifiable), bodyweight, basic strength challenges like squats, lunges and push ups. The course is a 1.05 mile trail loop with woods & water views on a flat, fairly even dirt surface. There will be a 4 hour cutoff time for this event. Modifications will be given for the strength exercises, and no equipment is needed. Participants are encouraged to push themselves by wearing a weighted vest/rucksack for the hikes and/or exercise stations as well!
