SINduda

48 hours. Vermont mountains. Wood carving. Origami. Haiku. Interrogation. Pizza making. Saving countless lives. SINduda is not a normal race. The Endurance Society invites you to a challenging adventure unlike anything you have ever experienced — starting Thursday, June 18, 2026, at 7:00 PM in Rupert, Vermont. Expect to be tested physically and psychologically. Bring a strong body and a stronger mind. Tasks may include hiking, rucking, calisthenics, negotiation, running, swimming, escaping, wood carving, locating water sources, briefings, a written exam, advanced interrogation application, haiku composition, sensory deprivation, origami, bushwhacking, saving countless people, pizza making, and comprehending the significance of the stairway of behavioral change.

What Is This?

• Not a traditional foot race. No set distance. No course map. No aid stations in the usual sense.
• An "endurance adventure" where participants face a series of unknown challenges over 48 consecutive hours.
• Expect elements of survival, problem‑solving, physical exertion, mental resilience, and dark humor.
• Past Endurance Society events have included tasks like memorizing poetry, building shelters, solving riddles under sleep deprivation, and navigating without GPS.
• The list of tasks above is a partial preview — not all tasks may appear, and others may be added.

Potential Skills You May Need:

• Ability to hike and ruck with weight (unspecified load)
• Basic calisthenics (push‑ups, sit‑ups, burpees, etc.)
• Negotiation and persuasion
• Running (likely short to medium distances, not a marathon)
• Swimming (open water? pool? unknown)
• Escaping (from restraints? enclosures? unclear)
• Wood carving (with a knife — bring your own?)
• Locating water sources (map and compass? terrain reading?)
• Briefings (pay attention — details matter)
• A written exam (topics unknown)
• Advanced interrogation application (both giving and receiving?)
• Haiku composition (5‑7‑5 syllable structure, likely on theme)
• Sensory deprivation (blindfolds? noise? isolation?)
• Origami (paper folding — specific shapes required)

• Pizza making (dough stretching, topping distribution, oven timing)
