About Us

Background:

The Wandergruppe Walking Club, Inc. is a non-profit organization with members scattered throughout Oklahoma with a majority living in the Oklahoma City area. They sponsor walking and biking events several months of the year; promoting walking, biking, swimming for members and the general public. There is no charge to participate in most Walking events. Wandergruppe will charge for those taking IVV credit or for B awards.

Volkssport:

A Volkssport is a leisurely walk through scenic and interesting areas. The walk route is pre-determined and non-competitive. Participants can walk at a comfortable pace, making it an excellent recreational activity for the entire family. It is designed to encourage physical fitness, promote camaraderie among those walking and to enjoy the outdoors. It is not a contest of speed and endurance.

All participants are eligible to purchase awards and to obtain IVV credit toward IVV awards. Membership in a club is not required in order to participate. Events lasting a day or two offer socializing and a variety of trails. The YREs (year round events) can be done almost any time but you will not normally find others on the trail with you.
