The Challenge is a 9-13 hour team event in which a Special Forces veteran — called a Cadre — leads you on a 15-20 mile “guided tour” of your city. It begins at night and runs until the morning.

Oh, and you do it all while wearing a backpack filled with 30 to 40 pounds of bricks and other equipment.
