Walk Des Moines for Fun, Fitness and Friendship

Joining the Walk Des Moines Meetup group gives you access to information about special events of the GDMVA, Iowa's Walking Club. We have a $3 walking fee to contribute to expenses of the organization, locally and nationally.

The Greater Des Moines Volkssport Association is a walking club of about 150 members. Organized in 1985 as a member of the American Volkssport Association to promote physical fitness through non-competitive sporting events. Club members meet monthly for a business meeting, program, food and fellowship. Weekend walks, seasonal walks, year-round events, swims, and guided bikes are listed here. Also, every Wednesday evening a group walks for an hour from a predetermined starting point. Our monthly newsletter keeps members informed on these events and other events throughout the Midwest. The Greater Des Moines Volkssport Association is a registered 501c. non-profit corporation and member club of the American Volkssporting Association (AVA) - with about 250 clubs, 1,800+ trails and thousands of participants in all 50 states. So whether you want to walk locally, around the state, across the country or around the world there will be a walk for you!
