THE TUCSON VOLKSSPORT WALKING KLUB

Welcome to some pages about volkssporting in Tucson and the Tucson Volkssport Walking Klub (TVWK). The TVWK is a non-profit sports and recreation club offering family-oriented, noncompetitive walks, hikes, bike rides, and swims in the southern Arizona region. It is affiliated (club #374) with the American Volkssport Association (AVA). These pages will explain what volkssporting is all about, give directions and descriptions for volkssporting events around Tucson, and lots more.

ACTIVITIES

The TVWK hosts about 4 to 6 one-time weekend events during the year. Most of the events are in the Tucson region. However, in recent years 1 or 2 events per year have been held in other more rural parts of Arizona.

Here are detailed descriptions and directions for the club's next event.

The club also offers 14 year-round walks and a year-round bike ride. Year-round events are volkssporting activities that are available any day of the year and anytime of the day from sunup to sundown. The registration sites for TVWK's year-round events are at businesses that are open every day of the year. Here is an additional description of volkssporting's year-round and seasonal events provided by the AVA. All of the "Year-round events" in the U. S. are listed in the book: Starting Point.

Here are detailed descriptions, directions and maps for the club's year-round walks and bike ride.
