RACE FORMAT
Two divisions — Open and Elite — each raced as teams of two: Men’s, Women’s, or Mixed. Both divisions follow the same six stations, in the same order, over the same distances — only the load changes.
- Open is built to be welcoming: lighter loads so any reasonably active person can register with a partner and complete the course.
- Elite is for competitive teams: same movements, meaningfully heavier loads.
Format: Athletes compete in teams of two. Both partners complete every stage together and can split station work however they like — with one exception: the final Sandbag Carry & Throw must be completed together as a team.
Course order: Buy-in Run → Farmer Carry → Burpee Over/Facing Object → Wall Balls → Mid-Run → Sit-Ups → Rowing → Sandbag Carry & Throw (team) → Buy-Out Run
