On 30 August 2001, Geocaching.com Founder Jeremy Irish activated the world’s first trackable, TB1 and thus began a game within a game: trackables. Today there are more than 2 million trackables traveling around the world - making friends, creating memories and patiently waiting to complete their mission.
On the 15th anniversary of trackables, Groundspeak are hosting a worldwide trackable race featuring the reincarnated Deadly Ducks and you are invited to enter!
The race will begin 20 July 2016 and end on 20 August 2016, but you need to register your racer by 17 July. Get all the details about the race and how to enter here.
The updated framework for Challenge Caches has been finalised, and new ones can be created again. Find out more about the new guidelines and listing requirements from the Geocaching Help Centre.
Last chance to submit your film as entries close on 1 August 2016 for the chance to have it viewed by a worldwide geocaching audience. Find out how to enter your movie.
We are always on the lookout for photos from events or cool caches, as well as any fun, interesting, unusual or exciting geocaching stories to share with the geocaching community. If you want to share yours, send it to us by emailing it to our webmasters.
