There are over 350 volkssport clubs throughout the USA, and many thousands around the world. Local clubs host the walking events. The club members select a trail for safety, scenic interest, historic areas, natural beauty and walk ability. They then invite everyone to come and enjoy it on a weekend or a weekday evening. The trails are marked or maps provided. Trails may be in cities, towns, parks, forests, rural areas, anywhere there is a pleasant or interesting place to walk.

Let’s face it not everyone is up to that pace or level of conditioning. Here’s a link to walk friendly marathons, half marathons and other shorter walking events.
