What’s a Monopoly Run?

I’m guessing that a “Monopoly Run” is something like a poker run, but then again, I’m not sure how it would work.

For a poker run, you simply pick a card and hope for the best hand at the end of the run. How could you play Monopoly between runs? Virtually?

One answer is the London “Monopoly Run”, scheduled for April 2009. You run around visiting the places on the London Monopoly board, answering questions. No board gaming involved.

But then you’ve got this “Monopoly game snowboarding run” scheduled for the Mattawa Bonfield Winter Carnival, January 30 to February 1. I wrote for an explanation, but none was forthcoming.
