RUSH
RUSH is a race created by Noel Schläfli in which a group of participants has to get from a secret starting point to a secret finish across Switzerland as fast as possible. They travel mostly on foot, can only use public transport with a limited number of jokers, and carry little more than a map, a phone for contacting the organizers, basic gear and a small budget. Since the participants film everything themselves, you get an up-close look at how they choose their routes, find places to sleep and push through cold and exhaustion. If you're into challenge shows and adventure reality, the question is: who keeps going, and whose strategy will pay off?
