President Katie's Blog August 2017
lWhat do you enjoy about Volkssport?
I have asked this question many times and have found there are as many answers as there are walkers.
I bought my New Walker Packet on September 11, 2006 after completing the 15K Lake to Lake Event. I had previously participated in this event as a free walker; the idea of starting at Lake Sammamish and walking to Lake Washington seemed like fun. I had recently completed a backpacking trip and developed a sore knee. As I shared this with a friendly woman at the finish table and she let me know me Volkssport provided many opportunities to walk and keep up my fitness level; I was interested to hear more. A group of people were approaching the finish table, so I stood to the side while she stamped their books. I was impressed by the way the group celebrated the milestones of the walkers. This was what I wanted. A FUN way to maintain FITNESS surrounded by FRIENDLY folks who supported their fellow walkers in reaching the goals they had set for themselves.
As I have become more involved with Volkssport I have seen that “Fun, Fitness and Friendship” is more than a motto. It is the heart of what we do.
As the new president of the Interlaken Trailblazers, I look forward to working with you to produce quality walking opportunities where each of us can work towards our fitness goals in a fun and friendly environment.
What do you enjoy about Volkssport? What brought you to us and what keeps you going?
