Home

We are an informal group of walkers dedicated to walking for fitness and pleasure, training to achieve our individual goals and enjoying the companionship and inspiration of like-minded women (and a few good men).

We are serious about our walking but equally serious about laughing, talking and eating breakfast. Many of us started as JeansMarines and carry on Jean’s tradition of caring for and encouraging each other.

We are inclusive and welcome the occasional runner but our emphasis is on walking – whether strictly for pleasure or to better your half or full marathon time. We are all ages, all sizes and all degrees of fitness but we share the belief, that with time, training and tenacity, we can walk the distance, step by step.

To get in touch with us,  send an email to: torontopowerwalkers@gmail.com 

And a big thank you to our Sponsor – Harbord House!

Covid Life

Last year, this time, I’d have been writing about the first day of spring.  This year, I’m on my fifth day of isolation.  Last weekend I had my granddaughters here and I sat with them at their house on Monday.  As the pandemic situation became more clear, I decided to go into self-isolation, primarily because …
