This year marks the 10th anniversary of the annual Cumberland County Hiking Marathon. We are planning some extra activities and surprises to commemorate this milestone in our history and invite you to take part in an unofficial ultra marathon challenge! You are challenged to hike nearly 74 miles of past marathon trails in July and August, then finish strong with 26.2 miles of the 2024 marathon trails. When finished, you will have completed a hiking ultra marathon of 100 miles!

Registered participants who COMPLETE the entire 100-mile challenge can pick up a free finisher’s sticker for their car or water bottle at the Hit the Trails Festival Oct. 5.

To register for this challenge, please click the button at the bottom of this page.This will ONLY register you for the ultra marathon challenge.You must register as usual for the 2024 Hiking Marathon starting Aug. 15.
REGISTRATION FOR THE ULTRA MARATHON CLOSES JULY 15.

You will receive a welcome email with further details about the challenge, including trail descriptions and directions, shortly after you register.

As always, hiking is at your own risk–make sure you are in good health with no physical ailments. You are encouraged to hike responsibly, with appropriate clothing and shoes, plenty of water, snacks, sunscreen, and bug spray. Stay on the trails, respect private property, and remember to leave no trace!

Unlike the annual Hiking Marathon, trails in this challenge will be in “as is” condition. They will NOT be signed with red arrows, nor will they be pre-hiked by maintenance crews. Please report any maintenance issues to the email below.

If you have any questions, please email cchikingultra@gmail.com

Happy hiking!

Ultra marathon registrants will be beta testing the new registration software designed specifically for Hiking Marathon related activities. We ask that you provide feedback (pros, cons, problems, etc.) via cchikingultra@gmail.com so we can make improvements before opening regular Hiking Marathon registration in August. Thank you!
