Rules
- A runner's time will be based on how many times he/she can bench press the weight for their gender and age category.
- There are four lifting divisions.
- Runners not competing for prize money, may scale their weight.
Men 39 and Under - Contestants will bench press 135 lbs
Men 40 and Over - Contestants will bench press 115 lbs
Women 39 and Under - Contestants will bench press 65 lbs
Women 40 and Over - Contestants will bench press 45 lbs
Time Deduction
30 seconds per rep will be deducted from the competitor's final 5k time for the Pump and Run Division. The maximum deduction is 15 minutes (or 30 total reps)
Lifting Technique
Lift starts with the bar in the extended position. Feet must remain in contact with the floor throughout the lift (no hooking bench support with feet/legs). Bar must touch the chest and be fully extended on each press - stopping terminates the lift. No bouncing bar off chest. Shoulder and rear must stay in contact with the bench during lifts. If necessary, plates may be placed under lifters' feet. No baggy clothing, belts, wraps or lifting suits. Decisions of our judges are final.
Lifting Time
Participants will begin by completing their max rep bench press. Registration and Bench Press will begin at Noon. Race will commence after all racers have completed their lift (approximately 1:00pm)
