The
Susquehanna Rovers are a group of people in Central PA and surrounding areas
who share a love of the outdoors and an interest in walking. Rovers range
in age from babies in backpacks to folks in their 80's, and they come from all
walks of life.
Susquehanna
Rovers are part of a worldwide network of similar clubs, all of whom host and
take part in volkssporting events. "Volkssport" means people's
sport. There are four main sports - walking, biking, swimming and cross
country skiing. Walks, or volksmarches, are the most popular type of
event.
DATC
is very excited to have the Rovers joining the day's events!!
