Challenge Hike Wall of Fame 
Challenge Hike Wall of Fame Each year, HARC Holds a Challenge Hike, with a hardy group of individuals hiking 20+ miles in the mountains on uneven terrain with varying elevations to raise funds and awareness for the Hagerstown Area Religious Council and the Micah’s Backpack program. This is no easy feat! In fact, it can be hard on the feet, as well as other body parts. Completing 20 miles takes several months of training to be in good physical condition. We honor those who have prevailed, completing the HARC Challenge Hike each year, through this Wall of Fame. Each finisher is listed here, and for most years pictured in a group photo. Congratulations to each of you for your accomplishment and thank you for your commitment to HARC and Micah’s Backpack!

The HARC Hike went “virtual” in 2020 due to the pandemic. One hiker, our HARC Hike founder and leader Ed Poling, did a virtual Challenge Hike that year, raising $5,000 to support HARC & Micah’s Backpack. |
