Questival Orange County 2018 On Friday-Saturday I partook in my first Questival! Going into the 24 hour event I wasn’t completely sure what it was or what was expected. It turned out to be a memorable experience! The event itself involves a series of challenges for your team to complete. There were fitness and wellness categories as well as “do good” and “quirky” categories. After you complete the challenge you had to upload a picture or short video ( to the app) with your team flag for proof. We had 24 hours to complete as many challenges as possible, with the exception of 1am-5am ( when the app went dark to force people to sleep). The event itself is put on by the amazing brand Cotopaxi. They summarize in their website, “The old standard is, well, getting old. By empowering the people who make our gear, building lasting relationships, and ensuring our products come to life under fair, sustainable working conditions, we’re changing the supply chain for the better.” A few of the challenges included... • eating California’s fruit (Avocado) with a spoon. • going on hikes • exchanging items from your backpack with other teams •watching the sunrise •donating clothes • getting a handful of flower thrown in your face by a random stranger Etc! I highly recommend! Not only did we get a neat Cotopaxi 15L backpack, we got a medal too!
