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!
