🥾 6 Weeks to Go ! Get Trek-Ready for Amarli 💪

The countdown is on ! With just 6 weeks until the 2025 Trek for Amarli, now’s the perfect time to start ( or ramp up ! ) your training and make sure you’re ready to walk with strength, purpose, and heart.

Whether you’re aiming to walk a few kilometres or tackle the full distance, preparation is key to enjoying the day, avoiding injuries, and crossing the finish line with a smile.

🚶‍♂️ 1. Start Walking — Regularly

You don’t need to be an athlete, but consistency matters. Start walking 3–4 times a week and gradually increase your distance and duration. This week: try 2–3km walks. Next week: push out to 4–5km. By Week 4: aim for a steady 7–8km.

⛰️ 2. Mix in Some Hills

Stanwell Park isn’t all flat ! Add a few inclines to build stamina and leg strength — it’ll make the event feel easier on the day.

🧘 3. Stretch It Out

Tight calves and hamstrings are a trekker’s worst enemy. Stretch before and after each walk, focusing on calves, hamstrings, quads, and hips.

🥤 4. Hydration & Nutrition Matter

Get used to walking with water and light snacks. Practice staying hydrated now — it’ll make a big difference on trek day.

👟 5. Check Your Footwear

Break in your walking shoes now. Blisters can ruin the fun. Wear the shoes you’ll trek in to make sure they’re comfy and supportive. Need new gear ? Visit The Athlete’s Foot Wollongong or Dapto for 20% off for registered walkers !

🧠 6. Train Your Mind, Too

Long walks are as much mental as physical. Listen to music or just enjoy nature — train yourself to push through the tough patches. Remember: you’re not just walking for fitness — you’re walking for Amarli, and every step counts.

🎉 Bonus Tip: Walk with Others !

Training with friends or family makes it more fun and keeps you motivated. Plus, it builds team spirit for the big day.

💛 Let’s Trek Together for a Cause That Matters

This isn’t just a walk. It’s a movement — one that carries the love, strength and determination of the Amarli Army. Lace up, start training, and let’s make these next six weeks count !
