Welcome to the longest-running Mega Event in the geocaching world – The 2024 Texas Challenge.  This year’s event is hosted by the North Texas Region and is in Wichita Falls, TX.  Geocachers from all over the world are competing for the coveted Golden Ammo Can, awarded to the highest-scoring team in a highly competitive activity pitting the different regions of Texas against each other in a spirited competition. To participate in The Challenge you must register using the form below two weeks prior to the event.  This is in addition to registering as a ‘Will Attend’ on the geocaching page.

In addition to the Team Challenge we also hold the Individual Challenge.  This version of the Challenge lets individuals compete against each other in categories based on gender and age groups.  Participants in the Individual Challenge must also register to participate using the form below two weeks before the event. If you are interested in participating in both, please complete both forms (there are no penalties if you decide later to not participate in both activities).

If you aren’t the competitive type – DO NOT WORRY – Texas Challenge is much more than competition!  We’ve created activities appealing to all!  We are excited to rollout two new additions to this year’s event:

• • Challenge within a Challenge – At the different events during the week each geocacher can obtain a scorecard.  During the week geocachers will have different opportunities to earn points for participation in different activities. The first 100 players to turn in a scorecard with 100 points are given a special Challenge within a Challenge geocoin modeled after rodeo belt buckles that are famous in Texas.   The activities and scoring will be set to allow everyone to participate and earn a geocoin – even if you can only participate during the weekend!
  • Caching Carnival – On saturday afternoon and evening there is a Caching Carnival at the Convention Center.  The caching carnival will provide everyone an opportunity to participate in geocaching and traditional carnival-type games to win prizes, have fun and socialize with other players.
