Cotopaxi Questival Comes To San Francisco

Oct. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- Cotopaxi, the newly launched outdoor gear company, is proud to announce Cotopaxi Questival SF, a 24 hour non-linear adventure challenge followed by an amazing free benefit concert.

As the first-ever venture-backed company to launch as a benefit corporation, Cotopaxi has donated at least 10% of profits to non-profit partners in the developing world since their inception in April, 2014. The inaugural event in April, Questival Salt Lake City, saw over 1400 people participate in the adventure portion and 5000+ attendees present at the subsequent music concert, making Questival one of the most exciting and popular new events. Ten percent of profits from Questival SF will go towards purchasing a village drill, from non-profit partner WHOlives.org, to bring clean water to communities in Africa.

At Questival SF, teams of two to five will be given a list of 200 challenges, and are tasked with completing as many as possible in 24 hours. Whether big-wheeling across the Golden Gate Bridge, camping out under the stars, or taking a selfie with a llama, each team navigates their own unique experience and will document all completed tasks through the Cotopaxi Questival App and on social media.

The event kicks off at 4pm on Friday, October 24th, from starting points at Sports Basement Bryant Street and Sunnyvale locations. Registration will be open 11am - 7pm on Friday and the challenge will go until 4pm Saturday, October 25th. The festival on Saturday will be held from 3pm - 7pm at the iconic Civic Center Plaza, with a free benefit concert starring exciting local bands, food trucks, drinks and more. The winning teams will receive a humanitarian trip to Mt. Cotopaxi in Ecuador & the Amazon, ski trips to the Rockies, guided adventures in California, free gear and much more. Each registered participant also receives a free Cotopaxi Luzon pack, worth $30.

Special Early Bird tickets are available for $55 and Regular Tickets will be $75. Register a team here: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/cotopaxi-questival-san-franci...
