Very Volksy

The club is very volksy..our word for friendly, family-like, close-knit. For welcoming smiles and ready walk routes, see the volkssport crowd. They're 350 walking clubs that hold 3000 events in 50 states. We've heard that volksmarching was a tradition of U.S. military families while stationed abroad 'back in the day'. Many of those families continued or reclaimed the sport after returning home. If you're planning a visit to California, Sacramento volkssport club President Barbara Nuss shares a club member's find: the State Park system's Take A Hike program that now includes some city walks.
