how long is a volksmarch
How it works. Volksmarches normally offer several distances -- a short, medium, or long path. The actual distances vary from event to event. Malsch offered 6km (3.6mi), 10km (6mi), and 20km (12mi) routes, and the registration fee depended on the distance you planned to cover. You then get a card with blanks for the checkpoint stamps. The Volksmarch event runs most of the day, normally beginning in the wee hours of the morning.
