What Is a Volkswalk?
A volkswalk is an individually-paced walk on a designated course, open to all ages and levels of ability. The purpose of a volkswalk is to encourage participation in the healthful hobby of walking, and to provide opportunities to explore cities, neighborhoods, parks or forests. Family participation is encouraged (children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult).
Volkswalk events can be FREE, but an optional incentive program is available which enables the participants to keep a record of the events and distances completed. To participate in this optional program, walkers purchase record books (event and/or distance) and pay the appropriate event fee. The walker receives a certificate, pin and patch when books are completed and submitted to the American Volkssport Association national office.
