IBikeIBuyWEEK Scavenger Hunt
The Grand Tour & The Time Trial
From Saturday, July 22 to Saturday, July 29, 2017 we are celebrating #IBikeIBuyWEEK with a unique, family-friendly, city-wide, Canada 150 mega extravaganza cycling adventure!
The adventure has two options for members of the public to participate in:
Option 1
#IBikeIBuyWEEK: The Grand Tour
On July 22 at 10:00am, a list of scavenger hunt items will be released to the public via Twitter [@KitchissippiOTT] & Facebook. A specific Facebook Event page #IBikeIBuyWEEK Scavenger Hunt has been created for this event. Everyone who wishes to participate will have until 8:00pm to complete as many tasks as possible on the list. People will be encouraged to post their progress on social media [using the hashtag #IBikeIBuyWEEK], & to win the grand prize will have to submit photo evidence of the tasks they completed. At 6:00pm on July 29, a winner(s) will be announced!
Option 2
#IBikeIBuyWEEK: The Time Trial
Meanwhile, also on July 22, people are invited to participate in a condensed, fast-paced version of the scavenger hunt. Participants are encouraged to gather at Somerset Square at 9:45am, & will be off by 10:00am. The list will have less tasks, over a smaller geographical area, & will have a 2-hour time limit. The first person to submit evidence of the most tasks completed will be deemed the winner. This event will be live tweeted via @KitchissippiOTT. The winner of this event will also get a prize.
Both scavenger hunt lists are a mix of items to purchase, places to visit within Ottawa, or easy activities to complete.
Rules:
Make sure to join the Facebook Group for up to date details!
