About This Sponsored Trackable:
Helping millions of people save money with GEICO's great insurance rates can be a demanding job for a Gecko. Like many of us, the GEICO Gecko is ready to get out of the office and soak up some sun while experiencing spectacular places around the world (well, rain or shine). You can help the Gecko get a little R&R by aiding his travel from cache to cache. Be sure to show him the great views along the way!

This trackable Gecko is provided by GEICO as part of the "Find the Gecko Sweepstakes." Simply fill out the entry form and you could win a Magellan eXplorist GC GPS unit, one of the most popular GPS devices for geocaching! There will be one unit given away each week for 20 weeks. Enter each week to increase your chances!

This is not collectible.

About This Item

The Geico Gecko likes to travel around signing folks up for Geico car insurance, right?

Not this gecko!

He's broken away from "the man", and he ain't never goin' back!

This gecko is on the run, layin' low, and staying under the radar! Please help him stay off the grid by taking him to places that have probably never heard of Geico - foreign countries, back-water towns, etc. Heck, send him to places that have never heard of car insurance! Help him hide out with family in the Sahara, kin in the 'glades, and get folksy with folks in the outback. Geico is a big company with quite a reach, so he's gonna have to go far and keep on the move!

To show your support for the recalcitrant reptile attach a pathtag or token representing you or your area. Let's give him some love! To start him off, we've attached a pathtag from the "Land of NIL" (Geocachers of Northeastern Illinois, to be specific).

For extra special bonus points - Help Gecko on the Run compile a scrapbook of his distant relations and new found friends. if you have a gecko - actual, stuffed, pet, wild, roadkill or otherwise - take a pic of this gecko with that gecko. Make stuff up if you like! (Paper gecko cut-outs, anyone?) Just keep him moving... if this rebel gecko gets caught he may "disappear" altogether!
