This year will be our 6th annual Scavenger Hunt at Prototype. Do you believe it?!

 

Typically, we host this event in the Spring, but with the current circumstances, we figured we would hold off until SeptemberA yellow smiley face with a big smile on it.

Every year, our goal is to make the scavenger hunt a little more fun AND a little different.

This year, Coach Leah will be heading up the event with Coach Caitlin and the team to bring you a fun-filled Saturday morning!

All the specifics are a SECRET but we outlined everything you need to know right now below!

WHAT?: 6th Annual Prototype Scavenger Hunt. Teams of 2 move around town completing tasks and challenges as they race against the clock! 

 

WHEN?: September 12th, Start time: 7 am 

 

WHO?: Teams of 2!  Prototype members are encouraged to have family participate and if you wish to have an outside friend as your partner pair just make sure they sign a waiver and let us know in advance! Sign up you and your partner here —–> SIGN UP HERE

 

WHERE?: As we are prioritizing social distancing we are offering two versions of the scavenger hunt. We have a virtual option and a live option that will take place at Prototype. 

  • Live: Gather at 7 am in the Prototype Parking lot. Your safety is our first priority so we will continue to implement social distancing measures. We will spread across the entire lot and then off you will go. We ask that everyone is mindful of social distance guidelines both on and off the property! 
  • Virtual: The virtual option will be just as fun! You will be asked to ZOOM in for the kick-off and asked to go to a central location in your town. This allows people all over to participate! 

 

SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES: Your safety and health is our first priority! To ensure that everyone is safe we have 3 back up plans to account for numbers of people, weather and circumstances. 

  • Participants must wear masks if they are within 6 feet of others.
  • Masks must be carried on your body at all times throughout the scavenger hunt. 
  • We will abide by the rules of social gatherings in the state of Massachusetts and may have two separate meeting locations if we get a high volume of participants. To be clear, we want as many people as possible! 
  • We have included a virtual option to make sure everyone is comfortable and still having fun. 

 

Frequently Asked questions?!

 

Are there modifications, what if I can’t run far?

ALWAYS! You can walk, jog, run or bike! Your Coaches are always available to help you scale with individualized concerns. 

 

Is there an RX version? YES! Create and carry a ruck or odd object with you the entire time to complete the RX version of this challenge. 

 

What will we do if it is raining?

We have a backup date if the weather is bad! TBD as time get’s closer.

 

What if I want to do this as a family unit?

 

Will there be an after-party like there usually is? Yes and no. We won’t be gathering after as we have in years passed but we do encourage you to bring a brown bag brunch and beverages to enjoy in a socially distanced manner outside after the workout. 

 

How many challenges will there be?  The goal is to complete as many tasks as possible for the given time frame. You will notice that all tasks will be allotted a point value based on the distance to get there and difficulty. We will include a lot of tasks so you have options and can prioritize what works best for you and your teammate! 

 

Is there a time limit? Yes! You will get all of this information when you arrive for the event. We can tell you it will take anywhere from 90 minutes to 2.5 hours. 

Where do we park?  Upon arrival, you will see designated parking with cones. We will also post photos and explanations of the parking logistics closer to the day of. 

 

Will there be a place for me to leave my things? No. We ask you to keep everything in the car during the challenge so we can effectively practice social distancing and maximize the use of space in the parking lot. 

 

What is the latest we can sign-up? We ask that everyone signs up sooner rather than later so we can appropriately plan and ensure social distance measures are in place.

Mark has been an amazing member, friend, and a huge part of our community for over 10 years. With his family now training at Prototype as well, he continues to share his journey and inspire others. Thank you for being you, Mark—you truly deserve to be our October POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype My experience at Prototype is now, and always has been over the last decade plus, incredibly positive! What’s made it even more special over the recent years is my family now being part of the community, and being positively impacted by the environment that Prototype creates. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? The community, the relationships, and the positive impact Prototype has had on me and my family over the years. Some of my best friends are now at Prototype. Relationships that have been developed over years of doing tough workouts together, competitions and events inside & outside the gym, golf trips and get togethers. The youth programs and remote coaching programs have also allowed my family to be members of the community which is incredibly important to my wife and I. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? Pretty much anything outside. But lots of golf, hiking, and sports with my kids. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? This would be a long list! One example would be dealing with setbacks. I’ve learned fitness is a long journey, not just a one size fits all fix. There's lots of turns and detours on that journey. Being here for so long my body and my abilities have adapted over time. With all the different things Prototype has to offer, and coaches that are so committed to the members, I’ve continued to be able to find a path forward regardless of the set back of change in my abilities. Another example would be resiliency. Stay on path isn’t easy, especially when that path seems like it never ends. Through Prototype, and side programs I’m part through Prototype, I’ve been building the resiliency muscles which has had a huge impact on my personal health & life as well as my professional life. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? -Continue to do hard things. Put something in the calendar each year that kinda scares me and I have to work toward. I want this to be a physical and mental challenge. -Rebuild the strength in my legs, and work towards squatting again. This may require a setback, but something I really want. -Build more muscle! 6.) Favorite Quote You want to go fast, go alone. You want to go far, go together!

I love having a community that is always there to help me out, answer any questions I have, and offer support. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I play soccer for Westborough High School and Bayside FC, I also train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and am a black belt in Krav Maga. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Through Prototype I have learned so much about the relationship between training and recovery, which has helped me to perform my best consistently! 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? Through Prototype I am pairing soccer with conditioning training and recovery to try and improve physical fitness and performance in the game. 6.)
