hi all,
for those not going to Buzzards Roost or Bernheim, lets head out to Germania Society on Kemper Rd this Saturday. Germania is holding their Herbstliche Kuerbis Lauf, or Fall Pumpkin Walk.

If one wants to get official Volksmarsch credit, one must pay a $3.00 fee. However, one can just walk the course for no cost. Volksmarsch is a walking society which originated in Germany, and which conducts walks all over the world.

One can start the walk anytime between 9 a.m. and 1230 p.m, but I propose meeting up- at the
Germania Klubhaus at 10 a.m., by the large flagpole in front of the building.

There will be a 5K [3.1 mile] course and a 10K [6.2 mile] course. Most of the course will be flat or rolling ground, with only a couple of hills. The course is a mixture of woodland trails and quiet roads.

Dogs OK on leash, but they are not alllowed inside the Klubhaus.

After the walk, Germania will have its fabled food for purchase, including several types of wurst, schnitzels, goulash, and great pastries. and of course outstanding German beer and wine.

if questions, contact the Germania coordinator, Patty Galvin at [masked] or John Cunningham at [masked], or email [masked]

    Oh, I guarantee it was not an O-K-I pace, even with walking on roads.

    I am already committed to 8:45 a.m. with my "Speed Walking Group" from Mason, OH area. We plan to do the 10K and eating afterwords. I hope to see Tri State Hiking Group there, after our walk.

Who attended?

    • “ Nice workout on the 10K with a couple of hills to get the heart rate up. Enjoyed walking and talking with Julie. ”
    • David (+1 guest)
      “ I liked getting together and walking. I didn't know that 90% of the walk was going to be on streets and subdivisions. We still had a great time and the fellowship afterwards with the whole group was great. The food was good, the coffee was great, and I hear the beer was fantastic. Having 2 different courses was nice and that allowed you to choose either 5 or 10K. We choose the 10K and the three ladies in our group set a killer pace for us three guys! Way to go Brittany, Stephanie, and Carol!!! ”

      “ Overall enjoyed the Volksmarch. However, prefer to hike on trails in the woods. Still good workout and beautiful scenery. We kept a steady pace.....sorta kinda OKI pace. Great group to hike with. Oh, did I mention the creme puff.......... ”
    • “ It was great except for the dog that got loose on Lick Road and attacked mine and other dogs. Would enjoy doing this again. ”
