SAIWAI offers double dose of walking
Saipan Walking Association, Inc. will hold not one but two walking events this Saturday, June 19, as it celebrates the 3rd Annual Pan Pacific IVV Saipan Festival.
In the morning, the Aqua Walk gets underway beginning at 8:30am at the beach behind the Aquarius Beach Tower Hotel in Chalan Kanoa. Aqua Walk is a unique walking event offered by SAIWAI where participants wade through waist-high water.
On the afternoon of the same day, SAIWAI would also hold a 10K Sunset Walk beginning from the Chamolinian Cultural Village at 4:30pm.
Like all SAIWAI activities, the International Federation of Popular Sports or IVV will be sanctioning the twin events of the 3rd Annual Pan Pacific IVV Saipan Festival.
IVV members will receive credit for joining the event. The IVV has member walking clubs in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Nepal, Australia, New Zealand, the CNMI and 29 other European countries.

Other walking events SAIWAI has slated for the rest of the year are the 3rd Annual Foundation and Family Day Walk on August 21; the Heart of the Marianas Fitness Fair Walk on September 25; and the 4th Annual Thanksgiving Day Walk on November 20.
SAIWAI was incorporated as a non-profit corporation on July 27, 2001 and was established to promote public health through non-competitive walking.
