When your team first arrived in New York City, this weekend was still an idea.
Now you've carried stories through bookstores, libraries, parks, conversations, reflections, whispers, laughter, and moments you could not have planned for.
This final chapter brings your team back to Times Square — but not as the same people who started the race.
Standing beneath the iconic New Year's Eve Ball, take a moment to reflect on what you're taking with you when this experience ends.
This is the moment where your team reflects on:
what changed
what surprised you
what stayed with you
what you're carrying forward
one "Whispers Resolution" you'll commit to after today
This is your final page.
Instructions
Before completing your final reflection video, your team must locate the Times Square New Year's Eve Ball.
Once found:
take a final team photo beneath or near the Ball
capture the energy of your team at the end of the race
make the photo feel like the closing frame of your story
discuss one "Whispers Resolution" your team or each member is making
A Whispers Resolution is not about becoming someone new. It's about taking one intentional step toward the person you already know you're meant to be.
