Do you miss the club, and are you finding it hard to get out there to hit our workouts? Do not fret, Coach Meredith has your back! Welcome to the H+P Scavenger Hunt Madness!
Staring this Friday, and ending August 18th, check off as many items as you can on this list. You can do this over as many runs as you’d like. Meredith is the one and only judge, she has the final say on all scoring! Check out the full rules HERE:
Rules:
- Run past the location (unless it specifies to run a loop or a specific distance)
- The same location cannot be used for multiple clues on the same run
- Log your run on Strava, in the comments tag Meredith with the #s of each clue you hit (you may need to follow/allow Meredith to follow you to tag/make private runs visible for the duration of the challenge)
- One point per clue (except two clues with multiple points available for different locations)
- Standings will be posted twice weekly
- Challenge runs from Friday July 24 – Sunday August 16th
- Male and Female with the top # of points will win an H+P singlet
