Hiking Society As the national voice for America's hikers,
American Hiking Society promotes and protects foot trails and the hiking
experience.
American
Trails Our members are working to enhance and protect America's
network of interconnected trails. We support local, regional, and long-distance
trails and greenways, whether in backcountry, rural, or urban areas. Our goal
is to support America's trails by finding common ground and promoting
cooperation among all trail interests.
The Association of Swiss-Liechtenstein Volkssport Clubs (VSL)
was founded in 1970 and currently has about 120 member clubs which organize
some 200 IVV weekend-style events throughout the year, as listed on the web
site. In addition to Round Walk style events (termed "Rundwanderungen" here)
with about 20 km segments, we are beginning to organize YRE's (termed
"permanente Wanderungen") of about 10 km in length and details are included in
English, French and German on our web site as they become
available.
British
Walking Federation (BWF) The British Walking Federation

ages and abilities. Participants walk at their own pace and receive awards for
their personal achievement. You don't have to be a member of a club to take
part - all you need to do is come to an event and register and take the
opportunity to have fun, make friends and improve your own personal fitness.

Hound
Press Carole Carson is the author of From Fat to
FitTurn Yourself Into a Weapon of Mass Reduction. This book tells
the story of how she lost 62 pounds going from fat to fit which she chronicled
in the local newspaper. Her journey became an accidental catalyst for others,
triggering a free community fitness event where over 1,000 neighbors and
friends lost nearly 4 tons in 8 weeks. Your website (www.ava.org) is included
in this book because it contains valuable information for persons seeking to
become more fit. We believe that the people who visit your site might be
interested in the information on Carole Carsons site and in her
book.

of Popular Sports (IVV) is an international organization composed of national

from Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Austria. It was registered by the
Court of Munich, Germany on January 20, 1972, and entered into the Register of

President's Challenge takes staying active beyond the school gym, and into
everyday life. We've expanded the President's Challenge into a whole series of
