Event comments

You must register and pay $3 for IVV credit for each day that you walk. You may take event credit for each day and take distance credit for the distance walked for that day. (Note: The club also sponsors a Seasonal Walk (Fort Montgomery NY) that also qualifies for the Appalachian Trail special program, #Y1973)). If a walker encounters what they believe is a qualifier while on a sanctioned event, and the program has not been listed in the description or directions, they may take a picture and stamp an Insert Card upon finishing. When they are able, they can seek a ruling from the Volkssport Club at West Point. With an affirmation, the stamp may be pasted into the program logbook.
