The clubs of the American Volkssport Association host a whole different kind of walk. It's not a pledge walk, it's not a race, it is a fun activity you do with a club, with your family, with your pet, or all by yourself. Volksmarching got its name from its origins in Europe. There are over 500 volkssport clubs throughout the USA, and many thousands around the world.
Local clubs host the walking events.
The club members select a trail for safety, scenic interest, historic areas, natural beauty and walkability. They then invite everyone to come and enjoy it on a weekend or a weekday evening. The trails are marked or maps provided. Trails may be in cities, towns, parks, forests, rural areas, anywhere there is a pleasant or interesting place to walk. Clubs welcome new members, but you don't have to join a club to enjoy the volksmarch events.
