THE INSEAD DASH 2010 (Trailer)
Dark clouds have gathered over INSEAD. There are whispers in the mist that the Queen of the Dash is assembling her terrible forces. The thunder of a thousand horsemen is shaking our land. And nothing stands in their way.
Arise, our heroes! Tonight is a night for joy and merriness. Eat heartily, sleep peacefully, and prepare.
For tomorrow….YOU. SHALL. DASH.
