New and experienced walkers are encouraged to participate in the second annual Monticello Volkswalk on April 15.
Volksmarching is "a form of non-competitive fitness walking that originated in Europe," according to a press release. During this event, participants will have the opportunity to walk 5 or 10 kilometers on the outdoor path.
The event will begin and end at the historical Michie Tavern. The route will follow the Saunders-Monticello Trail up the mountain to the Monticello plantation, a UNESCO World Heritage site, traversing the grounds before looping back down the mountain.
It costs nothing to walk in the event, but credits toward achievement patches could cost $3 to $10.
Walkers must start between 7 and 8:30 a.m. and finish by 11:30 a.m.
Participants must register by April 2. Click here for more information.
