Wheelin' to Wall
Wheelin’ to Wall through the Badlands of South Dakota is a cycling event that grew from a community collaboration project, “Marketing Hometown America”. The community collaboration brought forth many ideas from residents of Wall to connect with each other and the landscape where they live.
The walk-ability and bike-ability of Wall, my community, was a top theme among participants of the project. Wheelin’ to Wall is an event to raise funds to improve the infrastructure and safety for walking and biking in our community. It is an event for my community and an invitation to others to come and
enjoy what we have in and surrounding our town.
Charon Geigle of Wall, organizer of Wheelin’ to Wall has lived in Wall, SD for 30 years. She loves to be outdoors cycling, running, kayaking, trapshooting, and hiking.Wheelin’ to Wall is all about community.
