Geocache Description:

The coordinates above are for the meet and greet awards ceremony

Come out and cheer on the racers as they cross the finish line at Springfield Lake. Teams of 4 have been running around our city all day long completing road blocks, detours, brain teasers, and much more. They will be worn out and hungry and most of all, they want to know if they have won anything. Let's help them out with a good ol' fashion pot luck picnic. Bring your favorite side dish or dessert and we'll bring the meat.



It's unknown exactly when the teams will be crossing the finish line so we have reserved the pavilion from 3:30p to 9:00p. Team OMG will tally up the results shortly after the last team arrives and the winners will be announced before the close of the event.
