Highlander Cross Campus Challenge

The Highlander Cross Campus Challenge (also known as HCCC) is an on-campus event hosted by the NJIT Residence Hall Association (RHA). The event follows a similar format to that of the reality game show The Amazing Race.

Purpose
The purpose of the event is to provide a competitive on-campus event where participants can win prizes based on their skills, not through a raffle.

Event Format
Just like The Amazing Race, teams of two race around campus performing a variety of challenges in various stations. How well the challenges are performed obviously affects the team's progress through the race. There are three types of challenges incorporated:
 * Regular - both members must participate in these types of challenges.
 * Roadblock - only one member must participate in this challenge. Two Roadblocks are always implemented in each race and each participant must finish one of each Roadblocks.
 * Detour - a set of two challenges, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Both members must participate and may choose any challenge they want to perform. They may switch between challenges at the expense of their own time.

Unlike the reality game show itself, HCCC has three independent races. No eliminations are done and there are no multiple legs of the race that each team is required to progress through.
