News Story | Volksmarchers walk for health, community

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:43:25 -0400

Revived in Germany as an official sport in the 1960s, the centuries-old tradition of the volksmarch celebrates the new harvest and champions community fitness. Translated as "the people's walk," the volksmarch welcomed all groups of people to come together and celebrate health and life together as a unified population. The neighboring towns of Bastrop, Elgin and Smithville could, in turn, think of no better way to collectively celebrate their Oktoberfest than with this iconic tradition. | http://www.dvidshub.net/?script=news/news_show.php&id=40361
