| Volkswalking comes from the German term"Volksmarch" that literally means "a people's walk." It's a noncompetitive outdoor walk, usually 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) through a scenic, historic, or interesting area over a predetermined route. Volkswalks provide opportunities for people to see new countryside and landmarks, meet other people, and collect incentive awards. It's not a contest. Anyone who completes the course is eligible to receive an award designed for the event. This is usually a medal or a special patch with the payment of the appropriate fee. Everyone is a winner. |
