Walk for Fun, Fitness and Friendship with the Tarrant County Walkers.We are a non-profit organization whose aim is to promote health and fitness through Volkssporting, a fun way to see new sights and meet new people. Volkssports include walking, biking, and swimming events. Click here to go to a Membership Application and Club Fact Sheet.Most of our events are Volksmarches. Volksmarch is a German word for "Walk of the People". Our walks are on measured routes - 10K (6 miles) and 5K (3 miles) are the usual distances. We mark our walk routes with streamers or we provide written instructions and a map. |
There are two types of Volksmarches. Traditional events and YRE. Both event types are sanctioned under the American Volkssporting Association in the IVV and are eligible for credit toward Achievement Awards.
|
TRADITIONAL EVENTSThis type of events has a start time that spans several hours, so it is unlikely you would get caught up in a crowd. You register, and immediately hit the trail. We encourage our walkers to set a comfortable pace for themselves and take time to enjoy their surroundings. There is no need to get side aches, shin splints, or produce buckets of sweat (unless you want to). Exercise can be a fun, social activity. Everyone who completes the course is a winner and hopefully they will have had "a walk to remember". |
