Fosdick said when the trails were opened 13 years ago the state had an award for people who walked them all. Most weren t from Wyoming, though. It s hard to get Wyoming people walking. The whole focus of volksmarching is to encourage people to walk. The events aren t races.
Participants go their own pace.
Some run, others stroll. With each event and each kilometer walked, volksmarchers earn credit. Each member has a book to record their mileage and events. The Wyoming state park volksmarches are seasonal events. Most of the trails are open from May 1 to Sept. 30.
