Year Round Events

HomeAbout UsHow To'seventsyear roundsGalleryJoin UsLinksCalendar

Year Round events may be open daily, January through December. Year Round events are not limited to just one or two days in the year and have no set start/finish time; although, it is expected that you will start and finish the walk in daylight hours. Walks are 10 kilometers long (6.2 miles). However, there are some that have a 5 kilometer (3.1 miles) component so that you can choose. On average, a 10 kilometer (10k) walk will take around 2 hours, depending on your pace.

Numerous private and public businesses work in conjunction with volkssport clubs across the nation by allowing the clubs to set aside an area just for the starting point of a walk (known as "The Box").

For instance, one of the Sound Steppers' walks starts at Providence Everett Medical Center in Everett, Washington. When you arrive at the hospital, the "box" is located in the lobby. The "box" has all the needed registration materials, along with a map and directions for the walk. What can I see on this walk??? Please click here to view our photo showcase of this walk. (Sound Steppers also maintains start boxes at Stevens Hospital, Harbor Square Athletic Club, Top Foods Grocery Store , Third Place Books Food Court, and for our newest YRE, Machias Grocery Store)

Once completed, you will find self-stamped, addressed envelopes for sending in the credit fee, which is usually no more than $3.00, and the stamp pad for stamping your Events/Distance booklets. [Note: You may also do the walk for no credit, in which case there is no fee.]
