I received entry into the Run To Escape Mount Olympus Experience as part of being a BibRave Pro (ambassador). Check out BibRave.com to find and write race reviews.
Now that I’m finally starting to run (again!) I am thinking about Fall half marathons. The training plans are written and the mileage goals are made. But how do I make these runs a little more fun? I’ve done a bunch of virtual races and they are a great motivator, but I was looking for something new.
I am a huge fan of Escape Rooms and puzzles, so when I heard about Run To Escape I about lost my mind. A 6 part series, each with their own puzzles involving the Gods? Yes please! Plus, each run is no longer than 10k, and you won’t know the distance of the next run until you complete the current one. Mysterious!!
You start with Dionysus. There will be ZERO spoilers in this post, just a basic step by step guide on how to do the challenge. You’re going to have to figure the clues out for yourself!
As I was saying, you start with Dionysus. During your run, there will be clues at certain intervals. If you don’t hear anything in the first tenth of a mile, you might have forgotten to tap this little button:
If this happened, go and click it now! Throughout your run, you will hear the clues. Pay attention, but also, don’t stress! You will get an email after your run is complete. Make sure you see this after your run is over. You might want to run a little extra, in case the gps cuts out a little of your run.
The email can take anywhere from 2-12 hours to arrive, so check your spam and try not to get as impatient as I did! It will have sound bytes of every clue plus some extras to help you solve it.
Once you’ve solved it, you’ll go back to the registration page (the link is in the email with the clues). If you’ve guessed right, it will open the next challenge for you:
