What is Volkssport?

Volkssport are non-competitive sports that include walking, swimming, skiing and biking. For more information see the American Volkssport Association.

Volkswalks are non-competitive walks through scenic or historic areas, over a pre-marked, 10 KM route (6.2 miles). Participants can complete the course at their own pace, thus making this an excellent recreational activity for the entire family. Anyone who pays the fees and completes the course is eligible to receive a commemorative award and IVV credit toward individual achievement awards. A volkswalk is a great way to meet new friends and participate in an individual health program.

If you are new to this program, we suggest you walk over the route slowly, enjoy the scenery and fresh air. Joggers and runners may find our trail an enjoyable change of pace as well as an opportunity to earn awards for their effort. Volkswalks are educational, it allows you to learn a little history while broadening your horizons.
