Run to Escape: Mission Mt. Olympus was a fun, unique experience. It's actually not a race, which I think is important to mention early on. This experience includes six runs, which are each a challenge of a different Greek god. Each run includes audio clues via Runkeeper and a puzzle to solve afterward that allows you to unlock the next run with an access code. The goal is to try to get Atalanta, the Goddess of Running, a spot in the Greek Pantheon.

The experience was well-managed. While at first, the emails were taking a while to come through, this problem was quickly solved so that participants now have the info they need ready to go when they finish the run. To solve each puzzle, you need clues that you hear on each run as well as information in an email.

There is no physical swag for this event, which makes "swag" a hard category to rate. I actually don't mind not having swag because I have so much from other events. I'm really more about the experience when it comes to events, particularly virtual ones. There are discounts from Aftershokz, Knockaround and ParadigmQ, as well as chances to win prizes.

There is a lot of virtual support for this race. The person behind the social media accounts does a good job engaging with runners, and there's also a Slack channel where you can chat about the challenges with fellow participants.
