An Award-Winning Walking Club

For over 30 years, the Wood and Dale Wanderers, a 501(c)3 fitness activity affiliated with the Virginia Volkssport Association and the American Volkssports Association, has provided safe walking and biking trails, and social popular-sport events in Prince William County and in Northern Virginia.  In 2019 we were one of only two walking clubs in the nation recognized by the American Volkssports Association with the "Trailblazer Club Award" for being leaders in the field of social popular-sports.

We start with eight year-round trails ...

The club hosts eight year-round trails of 5 and 10 kilometers (3 and 6 miles) that walkers of all abilities can do at their own pace and when their schedule allows (providing the facilities are open).  Those who are physically challenged to do the sanctioned distances are encouraged to go as far as they can. 

All trails are available for practicing safe "social distancing" while staying fit. "Start boxes" are available for most trails or by using the America's Walking Club "Online Start Box" option.

... And we add the fellowship of 
traditional events and actively support other walking efforts in the county.

The club offers traditional events in the county once or twice a year to promote walking together and showcasing our communities to walkers from around the world.

The club will host seven walks around the county during "National Walking Week" (April 1 through 7) as proclaimed by the Board of Directors of the AVA: America's Walking Club. 

Since January 2019, the club has sponsored the award and recognition programs of the Potomac Mills Milers Club, the Commonwealth's longest and largest mall-walking program.  This walking program is on "hold" as the pandemic is a concern.

In January 2020, club members became active in the newly created Prince William County Trail Coalition to help promote the best walking available in Northern VA.  Visit the website at:  www.gpwtrails.org
