About us
Fun, Fitness, Friendship! The Northern Virginia Walking Club (Volksmarchers) is one of the leading volksport clubs in the US! A volksmarch is a leisurely walk through a scenic or historic area over a pre-marked trail, often using a trail description or map. The walk is non-competitive and participants travel at their own pace, making it an excellent recreational activity for the entire family. Join one of our three types of activities: 1. Traditional Walks with pre-marked trails (walk DIY during a window). 2. Year-Round or Seasonal Events, which are self-guided or DIY 3. Guided Group Walks. To defray expenses, request non-members and guests pay $2. Club members pay $4 for AVA walk-credit. Please bring correct change in cash. We featured curated walks led by experienced members. Annual dues are $10. Attendees under 18 must have a guardian with them. This hobby is world-wide, so try us if you like to travel! View the short YouTube video below (2:21 minutes), or visit our website or Facebook page. Or contact one of the Group Leaders thru Meetup.
