With abundant natural beauty and extensive investment in outdoor recreation, Wausau has rebranded itself as Wisconsin’s Basecamp. What better place to host an inspiring Wisconsin Healthy Communities Summit?
In 2026, the Bike Fed will again team up with the Wisconsin Office of Outdoor Recreation to convene community leaders, outdoor industry and health professionals, planners, advocates, and business leaders to explore how outdoor recreation, biking and active transportation contribute to healthier, more vibrant communities across the state.
The Wisconsin Healthy Communities Summit is scheduled for April 23-24, 2026 at the beautiful Hilton Garden Inn in Wausau. The Summit will feature interactive workshops, keynote speakers, and abundant networking opportunities. But also opportunities to cycle, hike, paddle, and stretch your body as well as your brain! Mark your calendar and join us!
The Wisconsin Healthy Communities Summit sessions will be focused on the intersection of public health, equity, and mobility through advocacy, education, and the power of trails.
