Teams receive course information the week prior to the event.   Teams strategize on their course and complete as many checkpoints and challenges as desired during the event!  

New Event Scoring
Instead of traditional start and finish timing, teams will earn points over a 2-hour period. Challenges are completed via a smartphone app by submitting text, photos, and videos and are monitored by judges in real-time.  a LIVE LEADERBOARD will be available for the first hour and 15 minutes of the event and total points will be announced during closing ceremonies!  

New Challenges
In addition to physical obstacles and challenges, teams will have the opportunity to complete a variety of challenges, including JH trivia, team initiatives, creative, fun, team, and physical obstacles. FUN or FAST – Complete the challenges at your own pace and complete as much as you like over the two-hour course time.
