The Waushara County Health Department, Waushara County Chapter of the Ice Age Trial Alliance and Waushara County Parks Department have partnered together to create a walking challenge called Walk-the-Waush. The challenge will be held June 1st through August 19th. The challenge is free and open to walkers, runners and hikers of all ages and abilities. Participants can enter as an individual or as a team (maximum of 4 per team). Participants can pick up a Trail Book from the Waushara County libraries, the Waushara County Health Department and Waushara County Parks Department, or the Waushara County Chamber of Commerce Office and Information Kiosks located in Wild Rose, Plainfield and Wautoma. If anyone requires assistance to complete the challenge, Assist Wisconsin is available as a partner. They are a non-profit organization whose mission is to replace obstacles with opportunities for individuals with disabilities and their families. They are able to provide special equipment and volunteer support. Please visit www.assistwi.org or call 608-253-2939 to speak with a member of their staff.
