Registrants are required to list a partner at time of registration. We do not accept registrations without a partner listed.

Failure to register at the same time as your partner will result in the original partner being placed on the waitlist until their partner registers.
If you are registering for the Mixed Unified or Open Adaptive divisions and do not have a partner, email Sandy Halkett at [email protected] with your name & division of interest to help connect you with a partner.

Join us for a Pop-Up with photographer Mike Poggioli and his book of prints Blue Ridge Dreaming!
Blue Ridge Dreaming celebrates the magic and drama of one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the United States. When New York native Mike Poggioli moved to Asheville, North Carolina, he traded in cityscapes for the towering peaks, lush forests, and sparkling rivers of the Blue Ridge Mountains. His moody, dreamy landscapes follow golden light and delicate fog through the changing seasons with his distinctive color palette of oranges and blues.
About Mike Poggioli:
Originally from just outside New York City, Mike Poggioli came to see photography as a serious creative outlet when he moved to Chicago in 2015 and became enamored by the beauty of the city’s architecture. He then brought his newfound love for cityscapes with him to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he studied clinical psychology. Photography became an opportunity to cultivate mindfulness – a way to see the world with a beginnerʼs mind – in both his personal life and professional practice. It wasn’t until he began a clinical internship in Asheville, North Carolina, that he ventured into landscape photography. During his time there, Mike discovered a passion for capturing the layers of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He has since listened to the call of the mountains by deciding to settle in Asheville.
Come meet Mike and get a signed copy!
