WHAT THE CHALLENGE IS
The 39 Counties program challenges you to complete a
volkswalk, or other volkssport event, in each of the 39 counties of
Washington state. The event must actually pass through the county. You
will fill in a special 39 Counties booklet with stamps from each event
and/or write-in entries from walks you have already completed, then mail
in your booklet when filled to get your patch (above).
CHALLENGE START AND END
THIS CHALLENGE HAS BEEN EXTENDED INDEFINITELY. Due to the
popularity of this program, it will become a permanent ESVA/WSC program.
There are no plans to have an ‘end date’ for this challenge at this
time. Each county will have a walk event available at least once every 2
years. See our list of walks for complete details on which walks are
available in which counties.
SPECIAL RULES
* One event can count for more than one county. For example,
the Coulee Dam YRE counts for Grant, Douglas and Okanogan counties. This
one event stamp, therefore, may appear in the booklet three times. If in
doubt as to what counties an event covers, contact the point-of-contact
for the event or check our list.
* Regular events, YREs or seasonals all count, including bikes,
cross-country skis, swims or other volkssport events, as long as the
event has an official AVA stamp. You must pay for credit for the event
and fill out a start card.
* For this challenge, you may write-in past events as long as you did
the event for credit and filled out a start card. Include the YRE or
event number (if you have it), town name and approximate date of walk
completed.
GETTING YOUR STAMPS
When you finish a walk or other volkssport event, you can get
stamps in your 39 Counties booklet at the same time as you get your
stamps in your regular AVA Event and Distance booklets. The 39 Counties
program is a separate, state-level program, and stamps in your WSC
booklets CANNOT BE TURNED IN TO AVA for the AVA Event and Distance
awards programs. YOU STILL NEED TO ALSO STAMP YOUR AVA BOOKLETS.
COST
Cost of the program is $8.00 which includes your booklet, postage and
your patch award. The cost must be paid up front when you order your
booklet. The patch award will be sent to you when you mail in the
completed booklet. The booklet must be mailed in by the program end
date.
