Registrations for the fourth Nelson City Council Women’s Activator Series open on 16 September.

The programme begins on 4 October, and is for women wanting to get more active and take part in sport events around Nelson but don’t know how to get started.

It includes 21 weeks of physical activity in a supportive and safe environment. Participants will have the chance to gain water confidence, learn how to navigate an off-road mountain biking trail, and much more.

What previous particpants have to say

"I could only swim half a length freestyle and indifferent breaststroke. Now I can swim length after length freestyle. My running was always a slow jog - I have discovered I can run further and faster."

"I now have a good variety of things to keep me active. At the age of 50 I have taken up running and loving it."

"I have got into swimming again and swim three times a week. I so enjoyed the mountain bike course my husband and I hope to do lots more over the summer."

"All sessions were wonderful and I have subsequently trained and can now run 5km. Great achievement for an exercise phobic like me."

"I gained confidence to enter more mainstream events discovering there were plenty of people my age and ability out there doing it too."
