Message from Glen to All Walkers
Hi! I’m Glen Conyers and
Regional Director for the Great South Central
Region of the American Volkssport Association
with seventeen walking clubs in the states of
Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, and
Oklahoma. I invite you to find more detailed
information regarding our clubs using the links
to the AVA website.
Our
clubs promote well being and good health through
walking exercise. Our walking is non-competitive
and allows you to do the walks at what ever
speed works for you. Many of our clubs do
however offer “club walks” when they walk
together for fellowship and fun in addition to
fitness. Our walks are established 6.2 mile or
10km, with some 3.1 or 5km as well.
One of
the great things about the "volkssport” way of
walking are the great people you meet and the
friendships that you forge. We are all
interested in walking, and doing it with good
people makes it a very enjoyable way to remain
physically fit. How many times have you gone to
the gym to walk on the walking track “around and
around” with each step becoming more boring than
the last? Well, we can assure you that you will
not get bored doing AVA walks and you have fun
while you do it.
We also
offer a way to keep a lifetime record of your
walking activity and your achievement. We are
rewarded for this by receiving patches and pins
which many of us display on coats and hats. Just
another fun way to show the places we walk and
how much we have walked.
The
Great South Central Region offers over eighty
walks in our five states so you can share in the
fun of volkssporting. Over 50,000 Americans
participate in American Volkssport activities
with over 320 clubs nationwide. So, why not come
along and join some of your neighbors in a fun
sport that will help keep you young!
