The start point kit will contain an instruction sheet describing exactly what to do at the start and finish of your walk. For a YRE, the IVV event credit can be stamped twice per year beginning in 1999. You may earn only one credit between January and June and one credit between July and December. YRE walks provide opportunities for participating in a Volkssporting event at your own convenience any day of the year. Many people walk YRE walks regularly, providing them with healthful exercise as well accumulating kilometer credits toward IVV awards.
Vacations can often include YREs.
There are several hundred YREs now available in the United States, with more added each year.
