We know that amazing things happen when the geocaching community comes together. On August 20, 2022<\/strong> (yes, that\u2019s International Geocaching Day) we are calling all geocachers to break the record for most explorers out caching or on an Adventure in a single day.<\/p>\n

This is an ambitious goal! The record we are trying to break has been in place since August 11, 2013! It will take every one of you, your family, your friends, and maybe even your neighbors, but with the power of the incredible global geocaching community, we\u2019re sure we can break it!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the record we\u2019re trying to break?<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019re trying to break the record for most explorers (geocachers and adventurers) logging a cache find, Adventure Location, or Event in a single day. Our goal is to break the record on International Geocaching Day, August 20, 2022, which is also the same day as the Geocaching 20th Anniversary Celebration Event. The current record is 126,833 explorers and it was set on August 11, 2013.<\/p>\n

How can I help break the record?<\/strong>
\nYou can help us make history by getting out on Saturday, August 20 and posting a \u201cFound it!\u201d log for a geocache, completing an Adventure Location, or posting an \u201cAttended\u201d log for an Event taking place on that day.<\/p>\n

Another great way to help us break the record is to make your August 20 geocache outing a group outing so lots of cachers get out to make finds, or introduce geocaching to a muggle friend. They\u2019ll get to be part of something big with their first find!<\/p>\n

Is there a souvenir for breaking the record?<\/strong>
\nYes. If we are successful in setting a new record on August 20, we will retroactively award a souvenir a few days after August 20 to the profile of every geocacher and adventurer that helped set the new record.<\/p>\n

When will we know if we broke the record?<\/strong>
\nOn August 20, we\u2019ll share regular updates on Twitter<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, and our blog sharing our progress towards setting a new record.<\/p>\n

We won\u2019t know for sure whether we broke the record until the Wednesday following the Event, but we\u2019ll be sure to share the results of our record-setting attempt on our social media channels soon after we know them.<\/p>\n

Let’s make August 20, 2022 a day for the record books! We can’t wait to make history with you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
