Name: Sean's Epic Death March: 22 Mile Loop of Geneva Lake WI! 10 mile option as well.
Start: 2025-11-08T09:00:00-06:00
End: 2025-11-08T18:00:00-06:00
Location: Lake Geneva Public Library

**MISTAKES WERE MADE!**
My legs hurt just from planning this event. :(

**Meeting Spot**
Lake Geneva Public Library

**Optional Dinner Afterwards**
TBD

**Parking**
There is parking all along Main St next to the Library.

**Hike Description**
We will depart at exactly 9:15am with whoever has arrived. The entirety of the path will take place on Geneva Lake Shore Path. Property owners on the lake are obligated to each maintain their section of the path. So the terrain will vary widely. Some owners put an entire garden on their part of the path, while others might just have a dirt trail. Everything is publicly accessible however. We are basically hiking a narrow path in people's backyards, but the views will be amazing. There will be plenty of water, mansions, beaches, nice houses, and even a state park along the route. It'll be especially gorgeous at the end, when all the lights come on. It will certainly be a memorable adventure.

**Shorter Option**
5 mile hike to Williams Bay and then head back the way we came to the library.

**Death March Option**
Despite the name, the hike will be at a 2.75 mile an hour pace. There will be a 10-15 minute break every 4-6 miles. The hike should take 9 hours total to complete. The sun sets at 4:37pm, so the last hour or so will be in the dark. However, we should be in the last quarter of the hike by this time and we will be in the suburban residential area of Lake Geneva, so it will be plenty lit.

**Volunteers Needed**
I need a few volunteers to run the support car, which is there in case of emergency or if someone needs to bail from the 22 mile hike. The support car can drive people back to their cars at the library should it need to. If interested please let me know. Gas and dinner will be provided. If no one is able to volunteer for the support car, Uber is available in the area to take people back to their cars.
