Volkssporting is healthy for you, your family and your pets. When you do a volksmarch, its a 10k or 6.2 mile organized walk, you walk, bike, or swim, although most of the events in the USA are for walking. First of all you find an organized walk in a location near you or if you choose you can travel to one. The way to find the location of a walk is to go to AVA.org, click on "Find Walking Events" and find the walk you want to do. Then you go there and sign in, pay or not, if you choose to walk for free you can do so, but you won't be able to get any of the goodies that are included in the nominal fee. If you are a member of AVA you have a couple of books that get stamped with the sanction number and the date. When you have done 10 walks you send them in and get a package of goodies in return as well as new books. There are several types of books too. One for State Capitals, one for Lighthouses, one for State Parks and the list continues to grow almost weekly.
So grab your other half, your pet, or just yourself and look for a walk in your local vicinity or somewhere else and get out and WALK, its good for you, its good for your pet and it is good for the environment....
