Frequently Asked Volkssporting Questions

What do local Volkssport clubs do?
There are over 350 Volkssport clubs throughout the USA, and many thousands around the world. Local clubs host events throughout the year. The club members select a trail for safety, scenic interest, historic areas, natural beauty and walking comfort. Everyone is invited to enjoy these well prepared walks any day.

How long do you walk?
Most people and families take about 2 hours to stroll our 10K (6.25 mi) walk trails. Some like to run or jog, others enjoy taking a leisurely pace and stopping to sight see, picnic, or even shop! You go at YOUR own pace, and you are always a winner at the end.

Where do I find out more?
To find a Volkssport club or an event near you, call the AVA Hotline (voice only) at 1-800-830-WALK. Events are listed by state on the hotline and AVA web page at http://www.ava.org.
