I've done some hackathons and the answer is simple: it's really fun. Building something cool from scratch in one sitting is very enjoyable.
I don't think there are any serious health implication to staying up for ~30 hours, especially if you take short naps once in a while. This is actually gentler than spending about the same time awake in planes and airports, and travelling doesn't seem very strange, does it? If you only do this once in a while, it shouldn't be an issue at all.
