University teams must travel 100 kms. across Europe using cans of Red Bull

Three students from the University of the Philippines are representing the country in the Red Bull Can You Make It? competition in Europe which is touted as an adventure of a lifetime.

A hundred university teams from 27 countries around the world will be tasked the mind and body challenge of travelling over 1000 kilometers across Europe in seven days using only Red Bull cans as currency.

The Philippine team called Team Beasts of the Southeasts is composed of Dave Agbayani, Red Calayan, and R-jay Esposo. They were chosen out of 10 applicants from various Philippine universities through thorough deliberation by both the local and international Red Bull teams. They were selected based on their desire for adventure, charm of their application and energy.

JOURNEY OF WITS, ADVENTURE, STRATEGY

The teams will start the competition from one of the four starting points in London, Paris, Milan and Vienna. During the seven-day journey, competitors wont be allowed to use cash or credit cards, and instead must trade cans of Red Bull for transportation, lodging, food and other necessities in order to reach the Finish Line in Berlin. There are 30 checkpoints spread out across the rest of Europe. Teams will have to visit a minimum of six to be eligible to successfully complete the competition. The teams will upload photos and videos of their journey, and rally support from followers back home.

The team that traveled the farthest distance in seven days, reached the most checkpoints, used more transportation methods than any other team, rallied the greatest support following and arrives in Berlin on April 11 by 5 p.m., will be crowned the Red Bull Can You Make It champions. The prize is a paid trip to any Red Bull event around the world.
