The 2018 Challenge is sold out

Registration is closed for the Full, the Homestead and the Friends & Family Challenge.

The entry process for the 2018 Rachel Carson Trail Challenge is concluded. Both the 35-Mile Full Challenge and the 18-Mile Homestead Challenge are oversubscribed (because we plan for withdrawals as we approach June 23). As of June 4, the Friends & Family Challenge is also sold out.

There is no waiting list, but if we drop below our registration threshold (which is unlikely to happen until a week before the event), those spots will be offered on the Events page on a first-come-first-served basis. If you wish to participate, check this page regularly. When the Register Now button is showing, at least one spot is available. Clicking the button will not guarantee you a spot; you'll be directed to PayPal where you must authorize payment first. If there are still spots available after you do that, one will be allocated to you.

Consider volunteering: you can still be involved in the event, assist fellow Challengers, have fun, and earn karma all at the same time! See the Volunteer Roster for locations and times where you can sign up to help.
