MOVES and TRAC present several volksmarches each year in Middleville on the Paul Henry-Thornapple Trail. For 2010, they will be May 1 and September 6, a Labor Day Bridge walk. There is also a Year Round volksmarch that you can do any time, except that the Trail is closed the month of November.

A volksmarch is a non-competitive walking event which is open to the public. The walk is generally 10 kilometers in length. Some events offer a 5k option. The purpose of volkssports is to encourage physical fitness, promote camaraderie, and to enjoy the outdoors. Family participation is encouraged. Since this is not a contest of speed or endurance, each participant may walk at a pace that is comfortable and enjoyable.
