A message to everyone in the Kingdom!

The Realm is up for grabs and we are looking for new members to try to take the Throne! Anyone daring enough to embark on this journey will be crowned as a Lord of the King Crab Challenge.

There is no question that the members of the running kingdom love the challenge of a quest.  And the only thing that they love more than a challenge is the SWAG they get for accomplishing that quest. Corrigan Sports is ready to throw down its latest gauntlet and summon all runners to take THE KING CRAB CHALLENGE Presented by Ketel One Botanical in 2023!

Members of the kingdom who finish the Frederick Running Festival  , the Baltimore 10-Miler and the Baltimore Running Festival  will join the small counsel and be dubbed King Crabs, taking home riches worthy only of royalty! Runners can complete the challenge by running the 3 required races virtually OR live in 2023 (or a mix!) At the Frederick Running Festival, challengers must take on the half or a higher distance (nut job challenge) at the 10 miler they must take on the full 10 miles and at the Baltimore running Festival, challengers must take on the half or a high distance (including the Baltimoron-a-thon challenge or full marathon).

What is it?

The King Crab Challenge presented by Ketel One Botanical is a test of stamina and bravery over long distances and an extended time period. Runners must complete the half marathon at the Frederick Running Festival, the Baltimore 10-Miler and the full or half marathon at the Baltimore Running Festival.

Who is eligible?

Any brave soul who thinks they can withstand the trials and tribulations surrounding three of the King’s most proud possessions, in territories that stretch across the far reaches of his kingdom.
