Spring Break Challenge is a one-off MTV reality game show spun off from MTV's long-running reality game show, The Challenge. Spring Break Challenge used various contestants from the precursor program as coaches of teams of new college-aged contestants. As with The Challenge, T. J. Lavin was the host of Spring Break Challenge.
The program aired from March 22–26, 2010 in Acapulco, Mexico[1] during MTV's then-annual spring break coverage. This spin-off featured teams of college-aged friends in various challenges of old and new based on previous seasons of The Challenge. The Spring Break Challenge cast was made up of original contestants from colleges across the country, as well as alumni from previous seasons of The Real World, Road Rules, and the first Fresh Meat challenge serving as coaches.[2]
