Tell Us Your Story

Volksläufe Means Peoples Race in German. We want to hear from the People who make the Volksläufe such an amazing race.

Runners, Volunteers, and Spectators, many people have embraced the Volksläufe and each for their own special reason. Some are completing a personal goal, some are driven to participate in honor of someone else, for others it's a July 4th Tradition.

What ever your motivation is... we want to hear from you!
