A $500 CASH prize is up for grabs in The Great ROC Transit Day Treasure Hunt!
On June 19, FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS (U.S.) will be hiding somewhere in Rochester. The first person (or team of people) to find it will take all. There's just one catch... no cars allowed. To claim this jackpot you'll need to use the bus system, walk or bike. Get your first clue now at www.ROCtransitday.com
.
You'll chase down clues high, and low, across this great city of ours. And unlike other treasure hunts, this one is absolutely FREE to enter. Simply track down your first clue
and go! Why's it free? Because I planned it, and I think entry fees are bogus.
But I repeat, you may NOT operate or ride in a motorized vehicle. See the official rules here
. The first 50 people to arrive at Checkpoint #1 will receive a free all-day bus pass to use for the race.
It's all part of ROC Transit Day
, a one day event that encourages Rochesterians to leave their cars at home, walk, bike, and use public transit for the day. In addition to hidden treasure, on ROC Transit Day your RTS fare card can also be used to claim exclusive deals & offers at participating shops and restaurants all around town!
