For example during last years race, racers had to get a band (womens hair pony tail holder) at each checkpoint. Checkpoints were 3-D animal figures (archery targets) for deer, racoon, turkey, fox, ect hidden in the landscape. They had a rope with a clip with the bands around their necks for necklaces. Find the animal, take your band, put it on your wrist, and head out!!!
