Registration taking place at a Dairyland Walkers outing at High Cliff State Park.

Americans aren't big walkers, in general. (Even the name of the national association devoted to recreational walking is partly in German: it’s the American Volkssport Association.) For recreation and health, Americans love jogging, yoga, Pilates, even stand-up paddle-boarding. But walking is the ultimate low-cost, DIY exercise. It's environmentally friendly, done on all kinds of surfaces, and the only equipment people really need is a decent pair of shoes. The Dairyland Walkers, a local club affiliated with the American Volkssport Association, know all this. The club is celebrating its 25th anniversary in the Madison area with, what else, a fun walk. Three distances (2K, 3K, or 8K); register outside the shelter in Tenney Park. Masks are suggested. Start time is anywhere between 8 am and noon and finish time is 3 pm. It is all about fun and friendship, so to walk with a socially distanced group, arrive at 9 am. The fee is $3. Contact Russ Crane at 608-244-6583 or rwcrane1926@charter.net for more information.
