Edmonton and Area Upcoming Walks
The Trekkers co-ordinate walks in the Edmonton area almost every week of the year. Many are pre-scheduled a year in advance and information regarding these events is published in the very comprehensive Volkssport Alberta Calendar. This calendar is free of charge and can be obtained at any walk or by emailing or calling the President. Or if you prefer an electronic copy click here:
Other walks are scheduled each month and published to members by email and posted in this section of the web site. These walks are known as Group YRE's.
If you want more information on either the scheduled events or the group YRE's go to the Contact Us section of the web site and ask us!
FEES FOR THE WALKS
Anyone may participate in a volkssport event by registering at the start of the walk and paying a $2.00 fee. The $2.00 fee is waived for the first 5 walks for a new walker. After the first 5 free walks an individual enrolls in the IVV International Individual Achievement Awards program by purchasing IVV Event and Distance record books. The awards are based on a person’s progressive record of the number of events and distance in kilometres completed. Membership in a volkssport club is not required, but encouraged. Club membership fees range from $5.00 to $15.00.Trekkers is $10 for an individual and $15 for a family.
