Farm Park Challenge

Derwood, United States • 2 May 2026

The Farm Park Challenge is a unique trail running event hosted by My Muddy Shoes at the Agricultural History Farm Park in Montgomery County, Maryland. Participants can choose from three timed challenges—3-hour, 6-hour, or 10-hour—where runners must complete one lap of the course each hour, resting only if they finish early. The event also offers a traditional marathon and 25K race.

The course is designed to test endurance, with the challenge intensifying over time. Volunteers receive the same swag as finishers, including a special shirt and etched pint glass. The event fosters a supportive and spirited atmosphere for trail runners of varying abilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
