About the Adventure
Freewheeling Fridays is a women-only pop-up morning walk designed for one thing — a genuinely good start to the weekend.
No pressure, no performance, just fresh air, good company and great coffee on one of New Zealand's most beautiful trails.
Whether you're a regular walker or just looking for a reason to get outside, this is your kind of morning.
You'll leave feeling better than when you arrived and probably already looking forward to the next one.
Activity / Fitness Level
This walk is suitable for all fitness levels. The Te Awa trail is a flat, wide and paved trail with no technical sections or need for special footwear beyond a comfortable pair of walking shoes.
If you can walk to a café, you can do this walk. We move at a pace that keeps everyone together and no one gets left behind.
Cost
NZD $10 per person, which includes your post-walk hot drink or beverage at The Podium Café.
Payment is taken at the time of booking.
Option to stay on for breakfast is available at your own expense.
Your Host — Sharon Evans
I'm Sharon, a Waikato-based adventure guide and the woman behind Freewheeling Kiwi. I've led women through the Himalayas, walked the length of New Zealand and spent more Friday mornings than I can count outside when I probably could have stayed in bed and I've never once regretted it.
Freewheeling Fridays is my way of bringing that same love of movement, fresh air and good company a little closer to home.
I'd love to walk with you 💚
