Volksmarching is a popular non-competitive walk that can promote fitness and a love for the outdoors!

Registration for the walk is free and walkers are encouraged to register.  Their walks are guided or on marked trails and typically are from three to six miles (5K to 10K). Join us to meet new people, get some exercise, and learn more about volksmarching! Group will meet in The Garrison lobby for an optional lunch  (not included in registration) at 12pm and the start of the walk at 1:30pm.
