I know some people aren't thrilled to run the Thor challenge as we typically focus on the Birthday Challenge in November and then the X-mas Challenge throughout all of December. However, I figured I would make this thread in case others were interested in this challenge as well. This challenge has several stages to it and two categories.

Welcome to the THOR Challenge issued by the international team CRUNCHERS SANS FRONTIERES.
- The THOR Challenge will take place during 5 weeks.
- Ranking on the TRT (Total Run Time) for the first four weeks (THOR Challenge).
- Ranking on the WCG Points for the fifth (THOR Challenge Pure).
- All the World Community Grid active subprojects are in competition.
An awesome competition of crunch where we hope to see registered all the World Community Grid teams!
To celebrate this 5th year, we have decided to increase the volume of teams accessing the weeks of competition.
This 5th THOR Challenge will therefore be more harder, captivating and unpredictable!
