Discover the World of Volkssport
Volkssport is more than just walking—it’s a global movement that brings people together through fun, non-competitive outdoor activities.

Whether you’re interested in walking, cycling, swimming, or cross-country skiing, the IVV connects millions of participants through a shared love of healthy, active living. Visit the IVV website to explore events and activities taking place around the globe.

Founded in 1987, the Canadian Volkssport Federation (CVF) is Canada’s official member of the IVV. As a non-profit organization, the CVF brings together volkssport clubs from coast to coast, fostering friendship, cooperation, and a passion for active living.
The CVF is dedicated to promoting healthy, non-competitive activities for people of all ages and abilities. While Canadian volkssport includes walking, cycling, swimming, and cross-country skiing, walking is by far the most popular activity—offering a fun, accessible way to explore communities, enjoy nature, and stay active at your own pace.
