What are the challenges for? The challenges are there to spice things up - and to inspire you to, maybe, read something you had not planned on reading.
Do I have to do the challenges to be a part of the readathon? Absolutely not! You can read whatever you want.
Can I combine challenges? Yes! You can combine as many of them as you can.
Does any type of book count? Yes! You can read novels, non-fiction, graphic novels, listen to audiobooks, read ebooks... it's all possible!

Specific challenge questions
What books count as gifted? Any book that you did not buy yourself, but that you own (so no borrowed books). Yes, this includes ARCs!
Do only retellings of fairytales count? No, you can read a retelling of - say - Romeo and Juliet just as well.
