About the Disaster Relief Challenge
Disaster has struck and you are the first person on the ground…what do you do?
The Disaster Relief Challenge is a unique and exciting 12 hour event during which your team of 4 will encounter some of the extreme situations faced by aid workers in the field.
Competing against other teams you will need to work together to solve logistical problems, navigate precarious terrain and be tested on how well you respond when faced with critical emergency situations. Are you physically and mentally sharp enough to bring home the Challenge Cup? Take the challenge and become a relief worker for the day!
