Course #2 Virtual Scavenger Hunt Series: Starts August 1st
/
Our first virtual scavenger hunt run route was received with great enthusiasm. We loved seeing your pics and posts, and sharing in this “stay-cation” experience. Congrats to Jen our official winner of our last scavenger hunt!
This weekend kicks off course #2 created by Mike (our first runner to post a selfie with a landmark on the route). In addition to highlighting some new and old K.C. landmarks, the route is strategically planned with a runner friendly location at clue #3 (half way point for out and back) where runners can fill up their water bottle. Pack your face mask for this run to take advantage.
The first runner to post selfies with all of the landmarks gets to create the next scavenger hunt. You have between August 1st and August 14th to complete your hunt.
Start: Nall & Johnson Drive
Distance: 12 miles
Date: August 1st- August 14th

Clues:
1. First landmark is at the start, "Pearl Harbor Memorial Park - an anchor from the USS Arizona. Take a moment to honor those who lost their lives defending our country.
2. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of Lady Liberty (in 1950), the Boys Scouts of America placed about 200 replicas around the country. One is on the route and is close to many students at this area high school. There are 25 different miniature Statues of Liberty across the state of Kansas, we will only ask you to find one of them but wouldn't that be fun!
3. This runner friendly convenience store at the corner of Shawnee Mission Parkway and Santa Fe is always good for a pit stop, and is the unofficial water stop for runners especially during these times. Don't forget a mask or face covering.
4. When running on Santa Fe you may have the urge to ride a horse. Not sure these homeowners would appreciate seeing you on this horse. Look east before passing 76th street or you may miss this one.
5. Turn around point is near the carriage house of William B. Stang Jr. in this stunning new park.
6. BONUS: This rustic owl is flying just off the path of your return to the west as he watches for a hole in one.
We miss seeing you in person! For everyone's safety, we are waiting for area cases to go down and stay down for a bit before we resume live group runs. Thanks for your patience, stay tuned and have FUN!
