About us
FOUNDED:
The Black Hills Volkssport Association was formed in Rapid City in 1982 and is part of the American Volkssport Association (AVA) in the International Federation of Popular Sports (IVV), which debuted in the United States in 1976. Volkssporting, which means "the sport of the people", originated in Europe in the
mid-1960's. All of the events described on these pages are fully sanctioned under the American Volkssport Association.
MISSION:
The mission of the AVA and IVV is to promote family fitness and fun through community participation in sanctioned Volkssporting events. Volkssporting includes outdoor sporting events such as walking, cross-country skiing, biking, skating and swimming.
GOAL:
The goal is to promote physical fitness and good health by providing fun-filled, safe exercises in a stress-free environment. Historic and scenic sites are
selected for the walkers' enjoyment and all events are non-competitive.
PARTICIPATION:
Volkssporting events are open to everyone. People of all ages or physical conditions are encouraged to participate.
MEMBERSHIP:
The American Volkssport Association as over 350 active clubs which sponsored over 3000 walks throughout the United States. Local club or national membership is not required. A minimum fee is required from all event participants, with additional fees for those participants choosing to take part in the International Achievement Awards Program or to receive a special memento for the event.
NON-PROFIT:
The Black Hills Volkssport Association is a non-profit organization that depends on the support of generous sponsors, active members and participant
donations. Donations to help with future events are cheerfully accepted.
