Event Description

If you like a challenge, please join us to get moving, have some fun, and help us raise funds for the historic Chatham Marconi Maritime Center located in Chatham, MA. The Center’s museum and educational programs promote knowledge of communication technology from Marconi’s spark to modern wireless.

COVID severely impacted our 2020 season and fundraising, but we're ready to move forward in 2021 with your support. Antenna Trail Challenge (ATC) proceeds will support Chatham Marconi programs and operations.  Visit our website for more information about the Center and learn more about the scenic Antenna Trail located on the 13 acre campus.

The First Ever Antenna Trail Challenge is a virtual event offering terrific prizes including an Apple Watch, iPad, AirPod Pros, gift cards from three Cape Restaurants,  and a local Chatham bike shop. With a range of events that you can choose from, there are options for the entire family.  Sign up for a challenge to be entered into the drawing for the prize of your choice. The challenges are:

• The Antenna Trail Loop 400M Challenge - distance of a round trip on our Antenna Trail
• The Transmitter 5K Challenge - distance from the Marconi Center to the location of the South Chatham Transmitter Station.
• The Trans-Atlantic Half-Marathon Challenge - distance from the Marconi Center to the location of Marconi's original Wellfleet towers.

Complete the challenge of your choice any time between May 13 and May 26 and on any route that you choose.
