Day-Of Schedule of Events:
In addition to our traditional activities during the day-long relay, we will be holding the following events:
Find-the-Brick: If the golden mini-brick remains to be found, clues will go out as to where it is hidden.
Specialty Laps: Throughout the day, there will be periods of time where teams can participate in themed bonus laps that offer more points to their team’s total if they participate. Sponsors can sponsor a bonus lap of their choice, if interested. This year’s specialty laps will include:
- Sports Ball Lap (11:30 am) – run while dribbling, holding, or throwing any type of sports ball

Banner Competition (at the start of the day): Teams are invited to paint a banner and bring it to Hit The Bricks. Any teams that bring a banner will receive 10 laps if they participate!
Crossword Puzzle (at the start of the day): Teams will solve a crossword puzzle related to Wake Forest. When it is completed, it will be returned to the starting table where it will be checked by a co-chair, and if completed correctly, the team will receive 5 laps!
Spikeball Tournament (12pm-3pm): As a day-long event, teams that sign up will have representatives participate in a Spikeball game against another team (matches being held throughout the day). Whichever team wins the match will earn laps towards their team in addition to points for attending.
Cornhole Tournament (3pm-6pm): As a half-day event, teams that sign up will have representatives participate in a cornhole game against another team. Whichever team wins the match will earn laps towards their team in addition to points for attending. Matches will be held throughout the afternoon to accommodate our many participating teams.
Week-Of Event Descriptions:
Find the Bricks (On-Campus): This event is a daily scavenger hunt taking place physically on campus. Each day a Hit the Bricks 2023 Brick will be hidden for individuals to search for. Whoever finds it gets to keep the brick and receives a basket of gear from the WFU bookstore. An initial hint will be released at 10:00 am on our social media, but if the brick is not found by 3:00 pm or 5:00 pm more hints will be released on the @wfuhitthebricks Instagram.
Find the Bricks (Social Media): This event also occurs daily and will take place through social media posts on Instagram. The virtual scavenger hunt will have one selected campus organization’s Instagram include a hidden brick in a post. The first individual to comment on that post that they #FoundtheBrick and tag @wfuhitthebricks and include their team name will win. Find the list of all participating campus organization’s Instagrams here.
