Dog-Friendly and Stroller-Friendly 5K/10K Volksmarch
The trail route planned for this event takes you along sidewalks and post roads on Fort Belvoir’s North and South Post. The course is largely flat with some hills. The slopes on the hills are not steep. The route is rated 2B due to the hills. Weather conditions should have little effect on the trail rating.
Backpacks, large bags and/or ice chests and coolers are not allowed inside the fenced fest area. All bags are subject to search. 100% ID check. To learn more, visit here.
The event will take place regardless of most weather. The trail can accommodate strollers and wagons; however, they may require portaging over road curbs. Trail is unsuitable for wheelchairs.
Participants will meet at the Volksmarch Tent adjacent to the Oktoberfest grounds and start the Volksmarch anytime between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Participants must complete the event by 3 p.m.
Get your comfortable walking shoes ready. Pets can come too! Just remember they must be on a leash and, unfortunately, they are not allowed in the fenced fest area.
