Run Scavenger Hunt

Running should be fun, so at Social Run Club, we create events that are fun and keep us active. Come out and be part of the community.

Overview

The Run Scavenger Hunt is going to be an easy 45 min social jog in and around Yaletown. We'll give you a set of clues, solve them, take a photo for proof (we're naturally skeptical people :P) and get back in 45 mins. 

There will be additional points for creativity, costumes and more. Speed doesn't count for everything.

Sign up with a Partner

If you have a partner in crime or you're nervous about coming out for the first time, sign up with a Partner and we'll make sure you're in the same group. Please indicate who that is in your registration. This option will be closed when the groups have been assigned.

Groups

The intention of this event is to Move, connect and Have Fun. So we'll put you in groups of 4-6 (if to sign up with a partner, we'll make sure you're together). Then you'll solve clues and run around Yaletown to see whats there.

Points

• Business Hints - The hint refers to a specific business

• Random Hints - As a group come up with the best spot or location for the hint. Geoff will choose the photo that he believes has the most creativity, pizazz and accuracy for the category. Yes, this means that the points are subjective to Geoff, so be nice to him. Flattery never hurts either. Overt bribery is publicly frowned upon, but you never know what sort of impact that will actually have on points.
