Some alternate routes are also available. The club also sponsors an AVA cross country ski event in the winter in Tahoe City. There are four Year-Round walks and a Year-Round Bike all located in Nevada. Reno walks & a Bike),Sparks, Carson City (Capital Walk ), and Virginia City. The Nevada walks were created and organized by the former Sierra Nevada Striders AVA club. The Tahoe Trail Trekkers are honored to now be a part of these historic walks. There are over 1300 year-round (YRE'S) walks in the U.S. that you can do almost any day of the year with anyone you would like to invite along. All you have to do is register at the starting point and get your directions for the walk. They are usually 10km or 5 KM (6.2 or 3.1 miles) in length and take approximately 2- 3 hours to complete. Weekend events are hosted by local clubs throughout the year, in varied, often historic locations. All kinds of people get involved in Volkswalking. They walk for the exercise, a love of the outdoors, the awards of socializing. People attend the events to stay fit, to meet people, and to see things they might miss if they simply drove through the area. Volksporting is many things. It is going for a walk with other people - on the trail, through a park, forest, historical area or right in your own neighborhood. It is going for a bike ride, a cross-country ski-adventure, or a swim with family and friends. The goal of the American Volksport Association is to promote physical fitness and good health by encouraging all people, regardless of age, race, color, creed, or economic status, to exercise in a stress-free environment. The Tahoe Trail Trekkers includes folks of all ages who enjoy hiking on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from May through October and snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the Lake Tahoe area during the winter. The hiking, snowshoeing and skiing requires one to be a member of the Tahoe Trail Trekkers club. The club is AVA sanctioned however the hiking, some skiing and snowshoeing is not sanctioned but are TTT club only events. |
