Sounds impossible right? Yet that’s exactly what over 500 people are doing right now, as part of Red Bull’s annual Can You make It? ultimate adventure challenge…
165 student teams from across the globe are right now racing across Europe with nothing more than 24 cans of Red Bull as currency. In just 7 days, the teams need to cross a minimum of 6 checkpoints in various European cities, where they’ll complete challenges, earn points, and at each checkpoint be given another 24 cans of Red Bull.
Their aim? To cross the finish line in Paris on April 19 with more points than any other team. Points are earned through crossing checkpoints, but the teams can also complete extra adventure list items to earn points, as well as posting photos and videos of their adventure to receive support from social followers back home. A journey of daring, charm and strategy, Can You make It? isn’t a race, it’s the ultimate adventure.
And who are we supporting? After all, Contiki ARE the official Can You Make It? travel partner. Well all the adventurers, naturally, after all adventure is kind of our jam, but we can’t help but have a soft spot for our very own Contiki Wildcard team…
Can You make It? kicked off on April 12 in total screaming, hustling style (check the video above for just a taste of the starting line fun), and already the teams are pulling out all the stops to try and win the ultimate Can You make It? crown. Thug life ain’t got nothin’ on these guys…
