It was awesome. What is it you might ask? Cotopaxi is a start up outdoor gear company with a really awesome mission. You should check them out and support them. I do. Here is a link to their webpage. We will just that for $10 a person we got to compete in an AWESOME 24 hour rat race of adventure, culture, and service AND each got sweet new back packs ($30 value) and stickers and a big ol' concert at the end. Woot woot.
Anyway, there was a task list and tasks were worth different points and you documented your completion video picture or video and posting it to social media. (I actually understand how hashtags work now. Is hashtag one word?)
Rules = no splitting up to divide and conquer tasks. All 4 backpacks must be in every picture. Must sleep 6 hours.
