Volksmarch
What is a Volksmarch?
Volksmarch (Volksmarsch) means “people’s march.” It is a noncompetitive walk and it’s not about the speed or the distance. Volksmarching is about getting out and enjoying nature.
What is the cost?
All the Mayfest Volksmarches are FREE. Water and a snack will be provided at the end of the walk.
Who can do Volksmarches?
Everyone is welcome! It is a casual, free, and family inclusive event.
How is it done?
Walkers check in at the beginning of the walk at the Mayfest table, pick up and complete a Volksmarch Award Card and GO! Once you have completed the course, return to receive a stamp on your Volksmarch Card and your commemorative bracelet (while supplies last!) Collect all three
What do we get for completing Volksmarches?
Pick up a Volksmarch Card and collect your completion stamps at all Volksmarches you attend. Completers will receive a commemorative bracelet (while supplies last!) and the first 100 Volksmarchers to complete one Volksmarch will receive a 2024 Commemorative Volksmarch Pin (only 100 made!)
Volksmarching is not just an event; it is intended to encourage a lifestyle!
