Highlights from our annual Nova Christmas Walk/Run🎄🏃

Though the weather was wet and windy, that didn’t stop our most committed Nova members from coming and having fun.

This year we switched up the post walk/run breakfast by having a chef make omelettes to order. 

Plus, Coach Josh requested the chef to prepare an oatmeal alternative - creamy brown rice cereal - just as yummy and comforting as oatmeal but better on digestion.

Thanks to the team for putting it on and all our members who came out!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Nova Team!

🌟Our November SuperNova: Sarah Kerr🌟

Big shoutout to Sarah - an adventurer through and through who’s been training with Nova for just over a year.

Her reason for training?

To stay strong for what she loves most: skiing, surfing, and exploring the world.

She’s surfed in Costa Rica, skied in France and Japan and hiked the Dolomites and glaciers of Zermatt.

Last year, a ski injury left her with a broken wrist - something that could’ve easily sidelined the average person.

But instead of slowing down, Sarah worked through rehab and got back on track.

She’s a reminder that training isn’t just about fitness - it’s about performing at your best for the things that make life meaningful.

👉Check out our interview with Sarah (link in bio) to hear how she stays motivated, overcomes injuries and keeps chasing adventure.
