Dozens of Jeeps fanned out across Door County on Saturday for the annual Door County Jeep Run, a daylong fundraiser supporting United Way of Door County and its mental health programs.

The event kicked off at Door County Fire Company with registration and breakfast before Jeep owners and Jeep entusiasts alike gathered for a driver’s meeting ahead of the 11 a.m. start. Teams then set out across the peninsula for an app-based scavenger hunt, solving clues and choosing their own path through local municipalities.

Along the way, participants stopped at peninsula businesses, restaurants and local watering holes for the event’s poker run, collecting cards dealt by United Way donors, volunteers and community personalities.

The event drew a mix of Jeeps and other vehicles, with the United Way emphasizing that the run is open to all. Participants explored towns, completed challenges and visited area businesses throughout the day.

United Way of Door County Executive Director Amy Kohnle summed up the long day with big thanks for all that volunteered and hosted stops. And invited everyone to the next run  coming up this fall in November.

“Our first place winner graciously donated thier money back to the United Way,” Kohnle said. “A big thank you to all of the volunteers and stops that made this happen, we appreciate each and every one of you. We'll see you November 7th”

The wrap-up celebration at Door County Fire Company had food, music and raffle drawings, followed by prize announcements recognizing top teams and poker hands.
