OUR CLUB  --  FUN, FITNESS, FRIENDSHIP

The Rose City Roamers is one of Oregon's award winning volkssporting clubs that is dedicated to providing several hosted, guided, and year round walking events for your recreation and fitness pleasure.
The Rose City Roamers are associated with the American Volkssport Association, and all our walking events are AVA sanctioned.  As with most AVA events, everyone is welcome to participate.  We offer year round walks in North, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast Portland in addition to one walk in Clackamas.  Please check out our Year Round Event (YRE) section as we have changed several routes for 2012 that will take you to new or interesting sites.
