RATC 113-Mile Club
The 113-Mile Club was started in the 1980s when RATC maintained 113 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Our section has grown due to trail relocations and other changes. It is now a little over 120 miles long, but we have kept the historic name and patch.
The 113-Mile Club recognizes RATC members who have hiked our entire section. Members who complete our section receive a specially designed patch. To receive the award, the hiker must:
- Be an RATC member at the time they hiked each segment of the trail.
- Complete all 120 miles. Hikes can be done on your own or on a scheduled club hike. There is no time limit to the program.
- Document and return your completion. Please download a section chart here. As with AT thru-hiking, the honor system applies. As you complete each segment, check it off. When completed, snail mail it to: RATC, PO Box 12282, Roanoke VA 24024-2282 or email it to the Hikemaster. We will send you a RATC 113-Mile patch.
One patch is given for no charge to each hiker who completes the 120 miles. Hikers are listed below in the order in which they completed our section with the most current on the top of the list.
