Our hunts will typically be within 5 square miles and have 1-2 landmarks. Our first hunt was created by Mo and is extra special with several landmarks. It is a 10 mile loop. that starts in the Kauffman Gardens. The first runner to post selfies with all the landmarks gets to create the next scavenger hunt.
