Public Health Trek Across Wisconsin


The Public Health Trek Across Wisconsin is a pre-conference kick-off to the 2011 joint WPHA-WALHDAB Annual Conference in Appleton (May 24-26, 2011 – http://www.wpha.org)


Day 1: Starting in St. Croix Falls State Park (Polk County) on Saturday, May 21st, Public Health Trekkers will run, bike and/or walk through Polk, Barron, Dunn and Western portion of Chippewa counties.

Day 2: May 22nd, Trekkers will enjoy Eastern Chippewa, Clark and Wood counties.

Day 3: May 23rd, the view will include Portage, Waupaca and Outagamie counties, ending in Appleton.


The Trek is a great way to bring awareness to the importance of a personal wellness lifestyle that includes regular physical activity.
