Get Outside With The 2015 RunChatHunt

Posted on November 27, 2015 by Coco

As someone who tries to #RespectTheBird and avoid all things Christmas before Thanksgiving, I applauded REI for deciding to close on Black Friday and encourage its employees and the rest of us to #OptOutside. My favorite outdoor activity is running, but I have to admit that my motivation has waned as the mornings have gotten darker and colder. The RunChatHunt has come along just in time to give me another reason to lace up my shoes and get outside.

RunChatHunt 2015

So, what is RunChantHunt? RunChatHunt is a running scavenger hunt going on from today through January 1. Find the items on the list while you’re out on a run, snap a picture and share on Twitter using the #RunChatHunt hashtag. Creative interpretations and fun photos are encouraged. I’m in it for the fun, but there are lots of great prizes from RunChat sponsors–see the list and read all the rules at TheRunChatHunt website.

Here’s a peek at my entries from last year.

If you like to refuel with Starbucks after a run like I do, make sure you enter my Holiday Giveaway, and don’t forget to join us next weekend for the last Ultimate Coffee Date of 2016!

How do you like to get outside in December?

    This sounds like so much fun! I may have to join in. I saw a used condom in the road yesterday…I don’t see that on the list… :p

    This is such a good idea! I love running scavenger hunts so I’m definitely going to try this out once I get cleared to run!

    This is such a cute idea. I was all set to get a pic of me at the finish line of my trot yesterday but there was no big thing. Just a spray painted line. Ha!

    Usually I try to switch h to running after work in Dec. It is much warmer in the early evening. I am not sure if I will accomplish that goal or not…
    the #runchat hunt looks fun!
