Official Announcement of Marjorie Quack’s Passing

For Immediate Release to the Atlas Quest Community

It is with heavy hearts and slightly confused expressions that we announce the passing of our beloved mascot, Marjorie “Marge” Quack. After more than two decades of honking, meddling, and generally disrupting the natural order of things, Marjorie has embarked on her final journey — presumably to a place with unlimited corn and no posted trail rules.

Marjorie’s final moments were as gloriously chaotic as her life. While attempting to demonstrate “proper zipline form” to a group of new letterboxers, she was unexpectedly caught in a freak dust devil, carried across multiple counties, and deposited directly into a synchronized swimming competition. Though she earned a perfect score for artistic impression, she was ultimately disqualified for “being a chicken,” which witnesses say she took very personally.

We ask the community to take a moment of silence — or a moment of loud, indignant honking — in her honor. You may also sign her tributes page and share your own memories of her.

Further details about her memorial service will be shared shortly.
