Event Ratings The volkssport rating system is designed to provide participants with general guidelines to determine the expected level of difficulty at each event. 1. EASY... Walk on pavement or a well maintained trail with no significant hills. Probably suitable for strollers and wheelchairs. 2. MODERATELY EASY... on some pavement or some woodland or open field trails; or entirely on woodland and field trails that may not be well maintained. No significant difficulty with hills. May not be suitable for strollers or wheelchairs. 3. MODERATE... any setting with some difficult terrain, some substantial hills and/or steps. Strollers and wheelchairs very questionable. 4. DIFFICULT... Most likely in a natural setting with poorly maintained paths and steeper or hilly terrain. Not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs. Participants with certain health problems should take caution. 5. VERY DIFFICULT. All in rough fields or woods. Many steep hills, high altitude trails, very rough uneven terrain, or steep/unstable inclines. Not suitable for any person who is not in good physical health.
