Celebrate the Season with the 5th Annual

RunnerDude’s “Oh Snap!” Holiday Scavenger Hunt Run/Walk!

Run or Walk this event anytime December 17th through December 26 or after!

Two Routes! This event will consist of a 5- and 10-mile route. Each route will have specific holiday-related items to find during the run/walk. The scavenger hunt items will be in and-around the downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods. Some will be “in-your-face” obvious while other will be more obscure.  You’ll need to look up, down, and maybe even behind you! Perfect for the famliy!

Packet Pickup: Packet Pickup will take place Thursday, December 15th 4:30-5:45pm at the back parking lot of Lawndale Baptist Church (3505 Lawndale Dr) and Friday, December 16th 4:00-6:00pm at the Spencer Love Tennis Center parking lot (3802 Jaycee Park Drive). Note: If you are not able to pick up your packet on 12/15 or 12/16, you can have a friend pick them up for you on those dates. I’ll also have them at the Saturday morning group run on 12/17 7:00am-9:00am (run location TBD).
  • Full-Registration Participants – At packet pickup, full-registration participants will receive printed route directions and scavenger hunt item info for both distances as well as the RunGoApp route links for both distances, and their long sleeve T-shirt.
  • Basic-Registration Participants do not need to come to packet pickup. The 5- and 10-mile RunGoApp route links and links to printable versions of the route directions and scavenger hunt item info will be emailed to Basic (and Full) participants on 12/16.
  • Waiver: Scroll down to see waiver information for this event.
Note: RunGoApp is a free GPS app available for both Apple and Android. This app gives audible turn-by-turn voice directions during the run/walk. Be sure to download the app to your smart phone prior to accessing the route links. The app works best if you take your phone off WiFi during the run/walk.
