In our December 2012 issue, Trail Runner hosted a Scavenger Hunt. Partnering with 15 advertisers, readers were set loose to peruse ads for a small TR snowflake logo (pictured above) and a chance to win $1000 in trail-running gear. Hints were posted weekly on Facebook and Twitter, and entrants filled out an online form indicating where they found the icons in the magazine. On December 21 after all entries were collected, Trail Runner staff announced our winner—Matthew Bankirer, pictured below running a section of the Appalachian Trail near Roan Mountain in North Carolina.
