Glacial Trail Runners of Greater Milwaukee

Milwaukee, WI

Glacial Trail Runners of Greater Milwaukee

The Glacial Trail Running Group is a diverse group of runners who like to run all distances and speeds, and also like to motivate their fellow runners to meet and exceed their running goals. This group is perfect for runners of all skill levels. We run all year long irrespective of how warm or cold it is. 

The new name for the group  as of Fall 2016 reflects the current members love of trail running. Most of our Meetups and events involve a run on trails. However most of our members run on roads during the week and will do road races of varying lengths. In fact we've got some really fast road runners in the group right now. 

New trail runners are very welcome to join us. You'll be hooked on the beauty and challenge of the area trails. 

Membership fee is $5 per year and is due at time of joining and then every year thereafter.  The dues are required to keep the Meetup group active on the site. Other than that funds are used for various outings or activities throughout the year.

We hope you find a run that fits your schedule and we look forward to seeing you soon!!

Sincerely,

The Glacial Trail Running Team

COVID-Conscious Meetups

Milwaukee, WI

Hi! This group is for those out there still practicing COVID-conscious behaviors and mitigations when meeting up with others :) In fact, the core requirement for this group is that our meetups will be actively COVID cautious for all members with a requirement for wearing proper masks (no cloth/neckgaiters/etc.) at every meetup and/or using mitigations such as air purification indoors, outdoor social distancing, etc. Bottom line: this group is for protecting each other health-wise and building community with those who still wish to mitigate COVID risk. "But the pandemic is over" you say! Then, hey, this group is simply not for you, and that's okay! However, there are many people who the pandemic is NOT over for and are still extremely vulnerable to COVID, Long COVID, etc. whether it's obvious to others or not. People should not have to disclose their medical history, disabilities, whether they're immunocompromised or not, etc. to deserve safe spaces to gather and meet with others. Therefore, the purpose of this group is to offer people the chance to meet up in a way that makes them feel comfortable in a world where COVID is still very much an issue. But, also, masking for some can also be a stress relieving way to participate socially, so it doesn't necessarily have to be COVID-related. No matter the reason, masking and other clean air mitigations is a core value. If you feel you do not need these precautions, then awesome! But PLEASE do not worry about joining this particular group - luckily there are many meetup groups out there :) All said, this group is open to anyone wishing to meetup and have fun with the use of masks, etc. There are certain activities that are unlikely to be meetups, such as ones involving indoor eating, where mitigations are unable to hold up. Luckily, there will be a TON of other things that will still be fun to do, especially outdoors during the warmer months. For any indoor activities, I will personally strive to have air purifiers and the like in use in addition to mask-wearing. If at ANY time you have questions on what's allowed/not allowed, please do not hesitate to reach out. I will try to make things clear in any event created as well. I think if you are reading this far already and have interest in this group, you may already be plugged into COVID conscious practices - I do keep extremely up-to-date with current epidemiology, variants, science, etc. so I'm happy to discuss any concerns that may arise or any suggestions to ensure safety. Thanks and welcome!

Explorer Chicks of Milwaukee

Milwaukee, WI

Explorer Chicks of Milwaukee
Looking for a community of adventure loving, boundary pushing, encouraging women to explore the world with?   You found it!   [Explorer Chick](www.explorerchick.com) is a 2022 [Travel and Leisure World’s Best Tour Operator](https://www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best/best-tour-operators-2022) changing the lives of thousands with our supportive community formed organically by the women who have traveled all over the world with us on our small-group adventure travel tours.   What we got here is a happy by-product of Real Women embarking on Real Adventures. Women bonded together by challenging themselves in the outdoors. Women who naturally encouraged one another and connected right away. Women who live to LIVE. ⁠  ⁠  🦸‍♀️ The friendships are REAL. ⁠  🦸‍♀️ The vulnerability on the trails is REAL. ⁠  🦸‍♀️ The empowerment is REAL. ⁠  🦸‍♀️ The personal growth is REAL. ⁠  🦸‍♀️ The cuss words, inside jokes, and SHE-naningans are REAL. ⁠    And we’ve been doing it since 2014! That year, Explorer Chick founder, Nicki Bruckmann was a wife, cat mom and home owner who worked full-time in corporate finance. Instead of feeling fulfilled by ticking all the boxes, she found herself feeling stifled. She made the choice to break away from it all and step out of that life. To figure things out, she needed a vacation reset. But not just any vacation. She wanted something that would feed her adventurous soul and push boundaries. But the thing about divorce? You lose that built-in travel buddy. Believing that other women must also be in the same situation, she launched Explorer Chick! [Check out the whole story here](https://explorerchick.com/about/the-explorer-chick-story/#:~:text=The%20Explorer%20Chick%20Story%20In%20a%20former%20life%2C,buy%20homes%20from%20the%20Sears%20catalog%21%29%20in%20Cincinnati.). Launching in 2015, Explorer Chick ran one trip with three bold ladies who embarked on that adventure. From there, the sky became the limit, and in 2022 more than 1100 women traveled with us on 133 trips over 5 continents!    Whether you arrive as a solo traveler or with several of your closest gal pals, you’ll be greeted by a group of like-minded women travelers of all ages who love to go hiking, camping, rafting, backpacking, canyoning, surfing, kayaking, climbing and more. Basically, we’re all in on anything that gets us outdoors and active!   We travel the US National Parks and bucket list destinations like Iceland, Jordan, Galapagos, Croatia, Uganda and so many more.   The best part? You are taken care of by Explorer Chick’s professional, certified guides. They handle all the details: from food to accommodations to gear and extra words of encouragement when you need them the most.

We do a variety of activities including but not limited to restaurants, movies, festivals, hiking, bowling, museums, plays, etc. I'm very open to suggestions, so let me know if there is something you'd like to do. I may even ask you to host it :-). **Budget Friendly…** We keep the cost of most meetups to $30 or under. We want to keep the cost down so that you can come back often. The few events that may be above that budget the price will be noted in the description. \*\*Smaller Groups…\*\*Most of our activities range from 4 to 10 people.

These smaller groups enable great conversations, and new people are easily included. **I often say the best aspect of this group is the people...I am continually amazed at the high quality of people I've been privileged to meet through this group; down to earth, caring, and incredibly fun. Come join us.** **Group's Guidelines:** **Purpose of the Group:** **The purpose of the group is to develop friendships.
