Description
*REGISTRATION OPEN UNTIL AUGUST 4TH*
A virtual race challenge for the trail runner, hiker, or outdoors person. Run, Walk, or Hike anywhere in the world and help support the Adirondack Mountain Club.
With Covid driving us all stir crazy and the state of New York starting to open up, the hiking trails will probably be packed with people and social distancing may be hard to complete. The Virtual High Peaks Challenge is a multi-tiered challenge based on the two mountain ranges in New York with an existing in person challenge, the Catskills and the Adirondacks. Runners will have to complete the distance anywhere in the world and see what it takes to hike all of the trails to the highest peaks of each range in 3 months. For the extra tough runner out there, try and tackle the Mountaineer, both ranges combined.
As an incentive, every runner who completes a challenge will receive a lightweight quick-dry cycling cap as well as a patch signifying which challenge you completed for your pack. As an extra challenge, every person who runs/walks/hike 46700 feet in elevation will receive an extra patch for the accomplishment.
All donations and a portion of the proceeds from this race will go to the Adirondack Mountain Club to help with the programming and trail maintenance that makes all of our state's mountains beautiful.
