The People's March or Volksmarch is a form of non-competitive fitness walking that developed in Europe in the mid-late 1960s. By 1968, the Intl Federation of Popular Sports (better known as the "IVV") was formed by Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. The national emblems of these four countries were placed in a wreath to form the symbol IVV. The IVV Headquarters is located in Alttting, Germany (Bavaria) and the official languages of the IVV are English and German, though French is also used unofficially.
