Description
A 2-week exploratory race where teams of 2-5 will be provided a list of specific activities they have to complete. Each activity is assigned a certain amount of points based on its difficulty. The team with the most points by the end of the 2 weeks is declared the winner. The entire list includes over 250+ miles of possible runs that will require teams to explore and be goofy.
This event will start on November 1st at 12:00 am and end on November 15th at 11:59 pm. Once the race officially begins, we will email every team member the list, and then it is up to your team to strategize how to approach it.
To register for this race is FREE. But we ask each team to raise $50/decade of age. Meaning, if you are 40 years old to raise $200 or if you are 45 years old to raise $225. Resources will be provided on our main website, www.missioncleanwater.org/thehunt, to assist runners with how to reach their fundraising goals.
Daily results will be posted on The Hunt webpage to provide updates on the current leaderboard.
If you are an interested team not in New Jersey or New York and want to participate, WE WILL create a custom list for you so everyone can participate.
