Bear Hunt in Suwanee
01-21-2012 Big Peach Running Company, Town CenterBearHuntInSuwanee
Well, not a real bear, and not a hunt with guns, but a Scavenger Hunt to find the Karhu Bear. Join us at BPRC Suwanee on Saturday, January 21, at 8:00am. The fun begins with a trivia contest to determine who starts first. Then teams of two head out for a 3-4 mile run, testing their puzzle solving skills. You’ll be asked to have one team member in a photo at each point along the course. Your ultimate goal is to have an F2F14 with the Karhu Bear. (You might want to ask it, “RUMOF15.”) Prizes for winning teams! If you don’t have a teammate, you can either run it alone, or let us match you up with someone Saturday morning.
Adding to the festivities, you’ll have the opportunity to test drive a pair of Karhu shoes while out on the hunt. In addition, the folks from the Publix Georgia Marathon and Half Marathon will be there, with a chance to win a free race entry. They will also offer a special discounted price on race entries during the event, and provide post-run treats from Publix for a nice post-run treat. Other door prizes too, so check out our newest store for a fun way to start the day. (By the way, if you need to run longer mileage as you train for the half or full marathon, we can provide you with route maps for after the scavenger hunt.)
