Nothing captures the imagination quite like hiking the entirety of a long-distance path like the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. This most recent Thousand-Miler class submitted completion reports before April 1, allowing them recognition at the 2024 Annual Conference’s Award Ceremony.
The class numbered 109 hikers, hailing from 58 communities across Wisconsin, while 12 hikers came from other states: Illinois, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, and Vermont. Of this group, 96 section-hiked the Ice Age Trail, extending their adventure over several years. For example, one hiker began his journey on May 10, 2003, completing it 7,469 days later, on October 20, 2023.
