Tom Doyle Walking the Counties of Wisconsin Program
In 2007, the Dairyland Walkers initiated a new program aimed at eventually offering, over a number of years, an AVA sanctioned walk event in all 72 counties of Wisconsin. In 2015, we renamed this program the “Tom Doyle Walking the Counties of Wisconsin” in honor of the club member who had the vision to bring this program forward and spent considerable effort in planning walks in the northernmost area of the state.
Anyone can participate in this program.
The Walking the Counties of Wisconsin record books are FREE and should be available at all club meetings and at all special weekend events. If not, contact: Kristina Kenyon (608) 798-3006 or Don Suloff (608) 821-0263
