Hagerstown Area Religious Council
The Hagerstown Area Religious Council (HARC) is a coalition of churches and houses of faith in the Hagerstown area of Washington County.
Are you a serious hiker or want a serious challenge? Join us for the annual HARC Challenge Hike on Saturday, September 25, 2021. A small group of hardy souls will be hiking the Appalachian Trail from Pen Mar Park to Caledonia, PA – a total of 20 mountainous miles. This is a one-way hike with transportation back to Pen Mar Park and Hagerstown. We’ll have support along the way with water and Gatorade refills and snacks, and a good lunch. Enjoy camaraderie and encouragement on the trail as our group is led by Rev. Ed Poling. Registration cost is only $50 if you raise $200 in donations OR bypass fundraising and donate $250 at time of registration.
