Can you build a product while running?
Of course. Plug in Poke (@interaction). Plug in Devin (@cognition). Then you've got it ;)
Thank you @cognition and @interaction (Poke) for sponsoring London's first Running Hackathon, and showing the world what's possible.
CAN YOU RUN 81 KM IN 6 HOURS?

we had mobile saunas, pouring rain, too many credits and even more fun

Endurance, startups, hackathons, same feeling, different drug. Usually kept in separate rooms.
Now all in one place.
The first hackathon in Europe where you run and build at the same time.
