Tysons Trek & Treat – Frequently Asked Questions
Can I start my trips from different places?
To earn raffle entries in the Basic Challenge or rewards in the Advanced Challenge, all trips must start at the same start location – your home, your work, or your hotel. The goal of the game is to identify the number of destinations that are within reach from that starting point and explore the range of trips that can be completed using active transportation. We hope you will find new and different destinations to explore in Tysons!
Can I earn rewards for visiting the same destination more than once?
You may submit the same destination once a week for the Basic Challenge. For the Advanced Challenge, all destinations must be unique.
Can I claim multiple destinations in a single trip?
For the Basic and Advanced Challenge, every trip must begin at your starting location and end at a routine destination within the Tysons Urban boundary. So, a long walk from work (starting point) with stops at multiple destinations will only count for one raffle entry and one destination for the advanced challenge.
How do I earn rewards for the Advanced Challenge?
Walk, Bike, or Roll from your chosen starting location (i.e. your home, work or hotel) to five unique destinations of different types. Download the game board to keep track of your destinations and mark your progress towards rewards. The types of destinations are:
- Transit Stations
- Grocery Stores
- Public Parks & Open Spaces
- Shopping, Food & Entertainment Venues
- Commercial Gyms, Exercise Classes, & Active Recreation Stores
Why these destination types?
These are the routine destinations that people visit most often for daily needs. Not only are they all around Tysons, but most are just a short Walk, Bike, or Roll trip away.
How do I find a safe route between my home/work/hotel and destination?
Here are some resources you can use:
Tysons Get Around Guide
Fairfax County Bicycle Map.
What if I do not have my own bike or scooter?
You can use Capital Bikeshare or Bird e-scooters to play the game. Learn more at: Explore Tysons By Bike and Explore Tysons by Rolling
