DONE! 02 November 2024! Project Summary is HERE
A log of Ice Age Trail Runs/Hikes. The plan to hike all trails and run connecting routes (roads/pavement) over the next few years. Outings often combine segments and/or connecting routes and may also contain bike-back info and directions as needed. Information may be useful to others who may be attempting a similar approach.

In an attempt to simplify this page (and project), I converted the Official 2014 1000-Mile Spreadsheet to a Google doc Scoresheet (snapshot published below). This sheet contains my progress (logs/maps/plans/artifacts) by county. I also posted a collection of 2011 IAT Companion Guides (PDF) - I print these as 2-sided booklets to carry on the trail or in my running belt. Outdated, but much lighter/easier than the current guidebook/atlas - also use these as my segment checklist while hiking.
Useful Links/Tools (Often broken ... will test/cleanup every couple of years)
Ice Age Trail Map and current Conditions - Bottom of page contains links to misc spreadsheets (hunting, camping, gpx points, etc)
This link may take you directly to Trail Alerts Map
IAT Volunteer Chapters page for more detail, including Chapter Coordinator contact info
IATA Calendar Page - Find group hikes and maybe an occasional SHUTTLE!
