The Columbia Volksmarch Club (CVC) is a walking Club in Howard County,
Maryland, USA. Formed in December, 1984, the CVC is a member of the Maryland
Volkssport Association (MVA) under the authority of the American Volkssport
Association (AVA) in the International Federation of Popular Sports (IVV). The
primary purpose of the club is to promote good health through sports that
family members of all ages can participate in and have fun doing.
Volkssports are non-competitive outdoor fitness events where a participant
walks (jogs or runs), bikes, swims, rollerblades a marked or mapped route at
his/her own pace. The most popular is the Volksmarch, a 10KM (6.2 mile) walking
event. The routes are often scenic, historic or of special interest.
Volkssports are great recreational activities for the whole family
The CVC is a non-profit organization. We donate any excess funds each year to
county / state park services and to community groups that share our interest in
promoting good health through exercise.
