Cincinnati Riverfront Volksmarch Group Announces
The Cincinnati Riverfront Volksmarch Group (CRVG) announces the theme of their March Volksmarch, “The Coming of Spring – Bockfest Volksmarch.” The 5K (3.1 Mile) Volksmarch is Saturday March 6 between 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Registration 10 a.m. to Noon and complete walk by 1 p.m.). Participants are encouraged to wear their favorite Bockfest attire during the walk.
“We are excited to support Bockfest during these pandemic times by theming our March Volksmarch in their honor and donating a portion of the proceeds to the Brewery District non-profit, the organizers of Bockfest,” said Bob Igel co-chair of the Cincinnati Volksmarch Group.
Pandemic Social Distancing protocols will be adhered to during the Volksmarch. Groups of no more than 10 people can start the Volksmarch at a time. The after walk social activities will have social distancing tables spaced and participants seated in the Moerlein Lager House and adjacent outdoor areas.
The CRVG is a group of individuals that are lighthearted; enjoy walking, and drinking beer. The Volksmarch takes place the first Saturday of every month regardless of weather conditions (except snow emergencies). Think of the Riverfront Volksmarch as a monthly social group that meets up gets a little exercise and enjoys life. Regardless of weather conditions the group will meet monthly to enjoy life and the seasons of the riverfront. Each Volksmarch will have a theme. March’s theme will be “The Coming of Spring – Bockfest Volksmarch”.
