What we’re about
Join us for our walks! Are you looking to improve your physical and mental well-being? Are you new to Greenville? Want to meet new people, make new friends, or simply looking for an easy, fun, social and healthy activity to get you, your children, your pet, and family members out of the house? Join us for our walks that you can do with the group, or on your own. Our noncompetitive walks are 3.1 miles (5 km) or 6.2 miles (10 km) - It is not a race - but a fun, social activity.
We are the Upstate Pathfinders Volkssport Club, a not-for-profit club providing 11 interesting walks, available daily, at your pace, in many different locations throughout Greenville, SC. We provide turn-by-turn instructions with historical notes. We are a part of the America's Walking Club (aka American Volksporting Association), a nonprofit organization that sanctions and insures events in the U.S. America's Walking Club offers outdoor organized activities (walk, bike, swim) for everyone, regardless of age or physical condition. Seniors and minors (even in strollers), singles, couples, and families are all welcome. Pets are acceptable. You don’t have to be an athlete to be a Volkssporter! These sporting events (the vast majority are walking-related) are administered in the 50 states by a nationwide grassroots network of chartered sports clubs that sponsor more than 3,000 events annually.
