June Course Connection 2024

Ready . . . Set . . . Go . . . Race Walk!

We were thrilled to welcome nearly 60 attendees to a FREE Race Walking Clinic in May. Some were exploring race walking as an alternative to running, some were seeking tips to improve their form, for some it was their first introduction to the sport.

All had the unique opportunity to learn from and connect with two of the nation's top race walkers - Jordan Crawford (ranked 6th in the nation) and Bricyn Healey (ranked 7th). Jordan captured our attention with his 1st place finish in our 2023 ThedaCare Half Marathon Competitive Walk. College race walking competitors and Team USA teammates, both Jordan and Bricyn live in Northeastern Wisconsin and have a passion for sharing their sport.

Attendees benefitted from demonstrations of race walking techniques, shoe recommendations and other insider tips. Then, the group took to path where Jordan and Bricyn observed their form and gave each person individualized feedback and encouragement.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to Jordan and Bricyn for leading the clinic! If you're ready to race walk - register today for the ThedaCare Half Marathon Competitive Walk.

“Thank you for putting this together ... it was fun and informative."

"What a great opportunity. I feel faster already!"

What is Race Walking?

Race Walking is the competitive sport of racing at a fast walk while maintaining continuous foot contact with the ground and keeping the supporting leg straight. It is characterized by lateral hip movement and a calm upper body.

Do I have to race walk to walk in an event?

No. Participants can walk any of our events using the technique that works best for them. However, the ThedaCare Half Marathon Competitive Walk is a judged event exclusively for race walkers.
