Andover, United States • 27-28 Jun 2025

TPK Bad Decisions is a challenging 30-hour non-stop team endurance event held in Andover, New Jersey. Scheduled for June 27-28, 2025, it features teams of four working together to complete a series of diverse challenges inspired by an "Amazing Race" style format. Participants face three types of tasks: straightforward completion, choosing between two challenge versions with strategic "U-Turns," and optional mystery tasks that can ease difficulty.

The race demands skills in navigation, problem-solving, carrying heavy loads, and outdoor survival. With a pre-race team challenge and potential skill learning, this event offers a unique, intense, and fun endurance experience without GPS or modern tech aids.
