Farm Park Challenge
The Farm Park Challenge is a timed trail event presented by the My Muddy Shoes trail club. It takes place at the Agricultural History Farm Park in Montgomery County, Maryland on Saturday, May 2, 2026. The event uses a 5 mile out and back lap on natural surface trails.
Each lap must be completed in under one hour and laps start at the top of the hour. Runners who finish a lap in less than an hour may rest until the next lap begins. The event offers multiple challenge formats and also a conventionally timed marathon and a 25K.
Distances and formats
- 3-Hour Challenge: 3 laps, 1 per hour
- 6-Hour Challenge: 6 laps, 1 per hour
- 10-Hour Challenge: 10 laps, 1 per hour
- Marathon and 25K offered with traditional timing
The course includes grassy sections and single track with some exposed rocks and roots and a couple of minor creek crossings. Trails are mostly fast and runnable with some rolling hills and no major climbs. The course may change if trail conditions or park management require it.
An aid station on course will provide water, sports drink, salty and sugary snacks, and options for vegan and vegetarian participants. Volunteers receive the same shirt and etched pint glass given to finishers and may run the course before or after their shifts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
