Celebrate National Trails Day at the Ice Age Trail Hike-A-Thon tomorrow!


May sure has gone quickly! We've been busy with all kinds of awesome events this month. It started with Cinco de Fido, which raised $450.00 for the Dane County Humane Society and last Friday the Headlamp Hustle, which raised over $700.00 for the Ice Age Trail Alliance. Our last event of the month is tomorrow - The Dane County Ice Age Trail Hike-a-thon. It's a really great event where you hike 21 miles on the Ice Age Trail with other outdoor enthusiasts. It raises funds for the Ice Age Trail Alliance, who maintain the trails. The forecast is sunny with a breeze, so that's wonderful! Columbia Sportswear and Top Promotions helped us with the t-shirts for the event and they look awesome as you can see in the above picture! Consider joining us or making a donation to a someone hiking the 21 miles tomorrow. Find more info about the event by visiting Fontana Sports Facebook Events page!
