Tuesday Evening Run (TER) -- Adventure Run

Details

Tonight we will be doing Tuesday Evening's first ever Adventure Run. Modeled after the popular event from the Wednesday Night Run, we will be running around Green Lake and the surrounding streets in search of fun and interesting checkpoints.
Maps and Checkpoint questions will be available soon.
Q: What's a Choose Your Adventure Run?
A: It's an activity where you use a map with checkpoints marked on it. You can visit as many as you like, in whatever order that you like. Checkpoints are usually neighborhood quirks, and to prove that you found each one, you answer a simple question about it on the question sheet.
We will provide paper maps & questions for you at the event, as well as QR codes you can scan for a PDF version on your phone. You can also pre-print your own from the above links.
Q: How long does it take? How far is it?
A: There will be 2 options, a short course and a long course. The long course will involve getting all ~20 of the checkpoints and should be around 8.5km for an optimal route. The short course will require you to get any ~10 of the checkpoints and should be around 5km.
In either case we recommend a 60 minute time limit.
You can also feel free to make your own plan and visit as many or as few of the checkpoints as you like.
We're suggesting a 60-minute time limit and there will be ~20 checkpoints. Reasonable routes to visit all of them should around 8.5kM. Obviously, you can make it shorter by skipping some checkpoints. As for pace, add about 1-3 minutes per mile over your normal running pace (to account for checkpoint finding and answering).
Q: Where is it? Where do we meet?
A: We will meet in our usual spot, in Green Lake Park across the road from Zeeks Pizza, near the wading pool. The checkpoints are scattered around the Green Lake area bounded by Aurora Ave to the east, i% to the west, N80th St to the North and N 60th St to the South.
Q: Are we running as a large group? Smaller teams? Solo?
A: Any of the above, really. It's whatever you want. At previous Choose Your Adventure runs, groups tended to stick together based on running speed, but some runners go solo or in small teams. If you're looking for a pace buddy or a pace group, use the comments!
The goal of the game is to visit checkpoints, so teams splitting up and sharing answers is highly discouraged.
Q: Do I need to bring anything to play?
A: If you want to play "old school", then no; we'll provide you with a paper map showing all of the checkpoints.
If you want to play "new school", then bring a smartphone; we'll have a QR code that you can scan for a PDF map.
Q: Are there any prizes?
A: Nope. Since this is a free event without any sponsorships, no prizes are planned. This is being organized purely for the fun of it!
Q: What's the schedule look like?
6:30pm: Meet-up, instructions, and map handout.
6:40pm: Adventure Run begins!
7:30pm: Adventure Run ends, head over to Zeek's for post-run pizza.
