If champions are made, then one might consider the town of Kennard, Nebraska a first class champion factory. Proof is in the people who reside in this great plains community with a population of 371. Three of Kennard’s finest—Howard Locker (The Legend), Deborah Ryck (The Prospect), and Peter Pahkinas (The Beginner)—strive to achieve greatness via a sport often dismissed as preposterous. Powerwalking. Heels to the Pavement gives you an intimate look at the lives of these asphalt-pounding competitors as they prepare their minds and bodies for what is considered the most anticipated annual sporting event in the region, the Kennard Days’ 5K Powerwalking Championship. Mustaches will be grown, leotards will be donned, and pride will be swallowed, but only one true champion will prevail.
