To register for any Big Wild Challenge category you will need to make sure:

- You have declared a fundraising goal for The Big Wild.
- Your Challenge sets a goal or objective for trip members to achieve together. For example, first family trip, first ascent, most vertical, most days without a shower (just kidding).
We also encourage all Big Wild Challenge takers to:
- Post images, video, and blog entries on thebigwild.org to share your experience and inspire other people to take a challenge of their own (also you can prizes for your content).
- Adopt the 7 Leave No Trace principles to minimize the impact of your trip
- Plan Ahead and Prepare
- Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
- Dispose of Waste Properly
