A fun adventure with scavenger hunt-like attributes and low-key, group run vibes to find painted electrical boxes around Ithaca, NY. Participants will be provided turn-by-turn directions for an old-school feel, plus a .gpx route to load into their watches (can also be accessed via Strava). Various distances and elevation allows participants to choose their difficulty. Each distance has between 30 and 65 boxes to see. Participants do not have to follow the directions exactly, and they can drop down or increase distance during the run. An after-party will be held at a local brewery.
