Description
JOIN US for our FIRST EVER Carroll Creek Montessori Virtual Challenge! It will be a great adventure as we attempt to travel the entire length of THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL —a whopping 2,198.4 miles! — with all of us working together in a relay starting at Springer Mountain in Georgia and going all the way to the summit of Katahdin in Maine.
We’ll be ONE BIG TEAM of CCM students, families, staff and friends moving together to see how far we can go from April 24th through May 18th. Progress will be tracked in RunSignup. (Logging miles is easy. We’ll send instructions prior to the start of the challenge.) Each time you log miles, you can see how far you have gone as an individual/family on your results page and you can also check our team progress on the Team Results tab. Can we do all 2,198.4 miles in 25 days? Sign up and find out! Take it one step at a time; it will be amazing to see how far we can go. #everystepcounts
Sign up as an individual, individuals under one family account, or as one single family registration.
- Register as an individual ($15)
- Families can create one family account and register the names of each family member who will be participating. Cost is $15 per registered family member. This is a great option if family members (especially minors) would like to track their individual progress under their own name but register and pay under the family account.
- Families can create a single registration ($15) and share the registration to log miles earned by multiple members in your family. This registration will show one name in the results.
As a virtual challenge, you can move whenever or wherever you want. Miles can be run, walked, hiked or biked. You don’t need a GPS or step counter to track your mileage. We're on the honor system. Simply submit an honest estimate of your efforts for that day in RunSignup. If you forget to log your miles on any given day, NO WORRIES, you can back date them.
Participate from wherever you happen to be – go for a neighborhood walk, ride a bike path, hop on the treadmill, run in the park, ride a stationery bike or hike on the most rugged of trails! You don't have to do it every day! Just log your miles and time after each run/walk/hike/bike ride.
