Everyone invited to #HealthySaratoga Scavenger Walk/Run

We're excited to team up with iRun Local, of Saratoga Springs, to host a "Scavenger Walk and Run," this Thursday, June 21, 2018.

This event begins at 5:00 p.m. at iRun Local's store at 18 Congress Street. This event is free and open to everyone to participate. Because June is National Employee Wellness Month, our Health & Wellness Council is encouraging employers and employees to participate in this event together. Bring your co-workers, family, friends, neighbors and children. 

Everyone who shows up will get a map of the "Scavenger Hunt" locations across downtown Saratoga Springs. After a brief stretching excercise, participants can walk or run to as many or as few of these locations as they'd like. You can do this on your own, in pairs or as a team.

At each location, you will take part in a simple activity in order to secure a raffle ticket. Collect as many raffle tickets as you can at each of the locations. Bring the raffle tickets back to iRun Local and you'll have a chance to win some great prizes.

Our friends at iRun Local regularly run these "Scavenger Hunt" events. It is a way for them to show people their store and their amazing selection of running shoes and workout gear. They also love the fact that participants have to visit other business locations throughout the downtown. For them, this really is about building an amazing and healthy community. Each June, we are proud to participate and to encourage members of the Chamber to participate.

No registration is required but if you'd like to "sign up" that you will be attending and to share an online invitation with your family, friends or co-workers, please click here.

The locations to which participants will be walking or running remains secret until the "Scavenger Hunt" begins. Some are located within 100 yards of iRun Local and others are up to 1 mile away. This is a unique way for everyone to learn more about the local independently owned businesses within downtown Saratoga Springs. 

The Chamber's Celebration of Employee Wellness Month is sponsored by The Adirondack Trust. The goal of this celebration is to encourage local employers to consider how they can work with their employees to improve everyone's health and wellness. This is all part of our #HealthySaratoga movement which is designed to ensure that Saratoga County and Saratoga Springs remains one of the healthiest places to live, work and play.

While the weather forecast looks good, please know this event will run rain or shine. We've put in an order for some sunny and warm weather but you never know this time of year.
