Guide to the Year-Round Event (YRE)

 Some walks can be walked almost every day of the year, though sometimes they are closed during holidays.

 The Starting Point is an excellent reference to all of the YREs throughout the country.

 These walks usually start at a convenience store or park. The people who work there should be familiar at least with the location of the volksmarch box, though they might not be familiar with many details about the concept of volksmarching.

 Once you've located the box you should find very self-explanitary directions. Basically you will want to sign into the registration log and obtain a start number. Then you will find the start cards, fill them out and include your start number. Get a map. Then return the box from whence it came and you're off.

 After following the trail, you will need to get the box again, return your start card with whatever checkpoint information was obtained during the walk pay the $3.00 fee for credit (if applicable) and follow the directions for payment. Sometimes you will drop an envelope in the mailbox or leave it in the box.
