We have updated the list of volkssport state and national programs/challenges for each day, distance and route.
Because of the large number and inconsistent operation of special programs offered by the AVA and various clubs, this walk’s organizers cannot be sure
for which programs these walks might qualify. Because the satisfaction of walkers is our foremost desire, we will stamp any special program book
that a walker feels is appropriate for this event.
The walkers themselves are responsible for ensuring that the listed items actually meet the criteria of the program.
Our event organizers do not participate in any of these challenge programs and do not possess the record books. The listed items are only our best guess.
We design our routes for scenic interest, safety, checkpoint locations, and logical layouts for ease of marking and eliminating confusion during a three-day event. We do not design them to fulfill any programs or challenges other than IVV and IML Walking Association requirements.
Only after the trails are completed do we then check for items that might fulfill one or more of the THIRTY-SEVEN different state, national, and club challenge programs. This is an enormous effort. We feel we have done enough now and the rest is on you to be responsible for your own challenge book requirements.
No routes will be modified to pass by something that fulfills a challenge requirement.
We are not responsible for providing you accurate information, this is just our best guess. It is your responsibility to ensure that the listed items actually meet the program requirements.
