As of yesterday, five people have filled out their Birthday Challenge completion forms.

Looking at the Challenge Leaderboard, there are quite a few more that are eligible for our prize drawing, but still having filled out their form. And, there are even more that are so close to completing the Birthday Challenge! This is that last weekend of September and the weather is supposed to be nice across the state, so if you're thinking about getting out to collect some miles/hours/litter before the end of the month, now is the time! Personally, I (Adam) logged my final 3.31 miles on Wednesday to put me at 49.5 miles on the MST for the month of September. If you remember from earlier in the month I mentioned that each year I like to take on two personal goals every year as well- to log more miles than anyone else in the Challenge and to complete the equivalent mileage of whatever number birthday the Mountains-to-Sea Trail is having in a single day. Today is that day! I'm attempting to run/walk/crawl 49 miles today on the MST, doubling my mileage for the month. I'll be sharing updates on our stories, so feel free to follow along! Drop a comment below if you'll also be out on the trail this weekend. #mountainstoseatrail #MSTbirthday (The image is from last year when I attempted a 48 mile day, but was run off the trail at mile 35 by lighting).
