What
are Volkssports?
Volkssports
are family-oriented, amateur athletic
events. They are casual, though well-organized
adventures in health, recreation, fellowship
and fun. Volkssports evolved from
running races in Germany, and have spread to
28 other countries. Participants come
from the general public and EVERYONE is
welcome. Pets are allowed at most
outdoor events.
|
Most
Volkssports events are VOLKSWALKS, which are
walks of 10 kilometers or 6.2 miles. (Shorter options
are also available.)
Most of these walks are accessible by
families with strollers, and many are
wheelchair friendly.
Other
events include the popular bike rides, which
are 25 kilometers or 15 miles.
Swimming and snow skiing events complete the
set of Volkssports.
All
events are eligible for achievement awards
for the modest credit fee of $2.00. Other awards
include beautiful pins and colorful
patches. Frame-ready certificates are
awarded for the distance you've
covered as well as the number of events
you've completed.
