The Southern Maine
Volkssport Association invites you to walk our Year-Round and Seasonal volkswalks in
What are Volkssports? The Volkssport movement began in southern
A volkswalk is a leisurely walk through a scenic, historic or interesting area over a predetermined route. The walk (bike, swim, ski, skate) is a non-competitive and participants walk at their own pace, thus making an excellent recreational opportunity for the entire family. This is a great way to meet new friends and a fun way to exercise.
The goal of the AVA is to promote physical fitness and good health by encouraging ALL PEOPLE to exercise in a stress free environment.
