MANDATORY PRE-EVENT MEETING AND INSTRUCTIONS AT 8:30
YOU MUST ATTEND THIS MEETING TO COMPETE! NO EXCEPTIONS!
At the pre-event meeting you will be divided into competitive groups and instructed on the details of the events, timing, and scoring. You will also be instructed how to properly complete each exercise: For example, push-ups may require "hands-off-deck", overhead lifts require elbows to "lock-out" etc.
EVENTS
 WNEP's Ryan Leckey, 2011There will be four rounds. Each round will be timed or have a time equivalent. There will be different exercises within each round. For example, a round may require pushups, sprints, and pull-ups. Another may require dead lifts and hill runs. Each event should take approximately 12-15 minutes for average athletes. There will be at least 60 minutes rest between events — so be sure to bring energy bars, food or whatever else you need to restore, sustain and invigorate you for the next workout.
CATAGORIES
Athletes compete as individuals. Awards given to the top three men and women overall regardless of age. Men and women will compete in separate categories.
TIMING AND AWARDS
Each event will be hand-timed by race officials. This official will also determine if exercises are being completed with the proper technique. The ruling of the official is final in all cases and cannot be appealed. The fastest combined time through all four events is the winners. Winners get framed certificates and gifts donated by local businesses.
