Frequently Asked Questions

How do I form a team?

Forming a team is easy! From the homepage of the event, click "Register." If you're a new participant, click "Start a Team." You will automatically become the team captain for your team. Then, ask friends, family and coworkers to join your team and the fight against Alzheimer’s. If you are a returning participant, log in with your username and password, then chose to start a team.

What responsibilities does a team captain have?

Team captains are the heart of our events. As a team captain, you recruit your team of family, friends and coworkers, help them fundraise, keep them motivated and have fun fighting for a great cause in the process. You will also have access to a team fundraising web page and numerous tools to make your team a success.

How do I start fundraising?

Where does the event take place?

The start and finish of our loop, as well as registration, is located at 600 Handy Road, Huntington, VT. Our Challenge trail makes a clockwise loop around Camel’s Hump, utilizing a combination of private and public trails. Much of the loop is on state land and is maintained strictly for this event.

How will COVID affect this year’s event?

We will run our event this year in compliance with all state guidelines regarding COVID. As these guidelines fluctuate, it is difficult to know exactly what this year’s event will look like.

Are my registration and donations refundable if the event is canceled?

We are working hard to make every effort to hold some type of event this year, even if state guidelines mandate that it become fully virtual. Since the need for financial support is constant, we will donate all funds to the Alzheimer’s Association no matter what type of event we are able to have.

How does virtual participation work?

By choosing to participate virtually, you will have the opportunity to choose your own "Challenge" in support of the Alzheimer's Association, Vermont Chapter and their vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
