A stretch of the Ice Age Trail that is popular with runners, walkers and bicyclists could be the home of a new fitness project being launched by a group of local volunteers.
One team from the Leadership Development Academy of Rock County is raising money to build an exercise course at the Lexington Drive entrance of the Ice Age Trail near Palmer Park.
The group hopes to raise $15,000âenough to buy and install metal equipment for a 10-station stretching and exercise circuit that anyone who exercises on the popular section of the trail can use.
Team member Emily Hopper said her six-member group decided to tackle the project to help encourage people to use local trails to stay fit in the post-COVID-19 era.
