Club Rules

  1. Be Kind and Courteous: We are all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let us treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required.
  2. No Hate Speech or Bullying: We strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. Bullying in any form is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, derogatory comments or harassment related to race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, ability, gender, or identity. We are committed to fostering respect and understanding within our community, and any form of hate speech or bullying will not be tolerated.
  3. Contribute Meaningfully: Please ensure that you offer more value to the group than you take. We do not permit self-promotion, spam, or irrelevant links. Let us maintain a constructive and engaging environment for everyone!
  4. Participate at Your Own Risk: We strongly encourage you to consult a physician before starting any exercise program. All voluntary recreational activities, including Nordic Walking, carry inherent risks. By registering for and participating in any Cape Cod Nordic Walking event, you agree that all volunteers of CCNW are not liable for any injuries, losses, or damages incurred during your participation. It is your responsibility to assess your own physical and medical conditions before joining.
  5. Assume Good Will: Please come to this group with a beginner’s mind, open to learning from new perspectives and new ideas that may differ from your own. Seek first to understand, assume good will, and acknowledge your impact. Ask and engage first, rather than making assumptions.
  6. Respect and Privacy: What is shared in the group should stay in the group. If you take pictures that include our members, posting on our private Cape Cod Nordic Walking Facebook group is allowed and encouraged, but please do not post them elsewhere, including your own social media profile. Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great but may also be sensitive and private. We ask that all members refrain from engaging in political, religious, or other potentially contentious discussions within this group.
  7. Signing Up: You must complete our Instructional Clinic before signing up for Nordic walks. Please respect our limit of 1 walk/day to give more people the opportunity to participate. Before signing up, read event descriptions thoroughly, and only choose walks that match your ability. If you sign up, please SHOW UP. If you have to cancel your booking, we ask that you do so at least 24 hours in advance.
  8. Most Important Rule: Breathe, smile and have fun!
