4:30 a.m. Cowbells ringing. World Racers begin running from their bunks to get directions from Eleazar and the rules for our first race day. 

The Rules:
1. No hitchiking. 
2. You cannot personally operate a vehicle.
3. You can’t spend more than $50 per person. 
The first team to arrive at Higher Grounds Coffeeshop in Antigua, Guatemala wins the race!
