America’s Walking Club
What is Volkssporting? The term “volkssport” is German for “sport of the people”. Volkssporting in the United States is sponsored by the American Volkssport Association (AVA.org) which has a nationwide, grassroots network of over 200 active clubs nationwide presenting more than 2,500 volkssporting events each year. We welcome people of any background, age, and ability to come participate in our noncompetive sporting events. Set your own pace at any of our events whether it be walking, biking, swimming, canoeing, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing.
If you love to walk and meet new friends, join any of our walking clubs nationwide to find the perfect trail for you. No membership is required, only the motivation to walk! Bring your family, friends, and even pets on the beautiful, unique trails that the AVA offers.
The Danville Walk is year-round beginning at the Danville Family YMCA. Trail Rating is 1A with both a 5K and 10K walk available. Sponsored by the Ridgewalkers Walking Club, this walk is Honoring American Veterans and passes many of the wonderful memorials and buildings in Danville that honor our American Veterans.
For credit for the walk, participants must check in at the Danville Family YMCA to sign into the book. Please see the bottom of our home page for our hours of operation.
