THIS IS AN ADVENTURE DECATHLON..
The Adventure Run
You will have to overcome 3-5 miles of natures toughest elements. Expect to run, walk, and hike your way through this adventure. The best way to describe it is a trail run on steroids.
Points will be distributed based off your finishing time. The faster you finish, the more points you score. Every venue is different and expect the unexpected.
The Obstacle Sprint
A 400-meter test of speed, agility, and overall grit. You might be fast at sprinting around a track, but how fast are you when we put vertical walls, tires, vaults, hurdles, barbwire, incline walls and other challenges in front of you.
This is a timed event and points are distributed based off finish time. The faster you finish, the more points you score.
The Archery Range
Archery is the art, practice, or skill of propelling arrows with the use of a bow. Competitors will use recurve bows and targets will be 40 feet away from each archer.
Each competitor will shoot three (3) arrows at the target. Targets are marked with 10 evenly spaced rings, which have score values of 1 through 10. The closer your arrows land to the bullseye, the more points you score.
The Tire Flip
The Tire Flip is one of the staples of strongman competitions. This event is a test of total body strength, flexibility, endurance, and explosiveness. Competitors will flip a large tractor tire end over end for 100 feet.
This is a timed event and points will be distributed based off how fast you flipp the tire 100ft. The faster you make it back to the finish line, the more points you will score.
The Keg Toss
Keg Tossing is a sport that involves the heaving of a standard 15.5 gallon empty beer keg for the gentlemen and 7 gallon (pony keg) for the ladies. Technique is entirely up to you so heave away.
Each participant attempts to throw the keg as far as they can and points are determined by measuring the total distance tossed. The farther you throw, the more points you score.
Javelin Spear Throw
The javelin throw is a throwing event where the object to be thrown is the javelin, a spear approximately 2.5 metres in length. The javelin must be held at its grip and thrown overhand, over the athlete's shoulder or upper arm.
Points will be distributed based on the distance thrown. The farther you throw, the more points you score.
The Rope Climb
Rope climbing is a sport in which competitors, attempt to climb up a suspended vertical rope using only their hands and feet. Once the climber reaches the top of the rope they will slap a bell with their hand to stop their time.
This is a timed event and points are distributed off by how long it takes you ring the bell. The faster you climb, the more points you score.
THE 40-YARD DASH
The 40-yard dash is a sprint covering 40 yards (36.58 m). It's primarily a run to evaluate the speed of professional football players and other elite athletes. In terms of judging a person's speed, this is a great way to do it.
This is a timed event and points will be distributed on your finishing time. The faster you run the more points you will score.
THE CROSSBOW RANGE
Crossbows are used for target shooting and bow hunting in modern archery. A crossbow is a weapon consisting of a bow mounted on a stock that shoots arrows at a target.
Each participant will shoot three (3) arrows at the target. Targets are marked with 10 evenly spaced rings, which have score values of 1 through 10. The closer your arrows land to the bullseye, the more points you score.
The Farmer's Walk
The farmer's walk event is seen in many of the strongman competitions today. Competitors race 100 ft down a course while carrying a heavy weight in each hand. Female and Male weight will vary.
This is a timed event and points will be distributed based on how fast you cross the line. The faster you walk, the more points you score.
THE POST PARTY
Celebrate your accomplishment with Music, Food, Beer, and whatever other crazy activities we throw at you. Kick back in the Beer Garden and let us buy you a beer. It's the least we could do.
The Post Party is free and a great place to hang out with fellow participants, family, friends and other spectators that came to support all your hard work.

WILDCARD POINTS
These are the points awarded during the race that could be the difference between who wins and who doesn't. We have placed undercover "Moles" that will be disguised as participants and they will be awarding points for displays of teamwork, comradery, and overall spirit. Rock a costume...score some points. Lend a helping hand...score some points. You won't know who the "Moles" are, but they will be watching. Play Hard, Play Safe, Play Fair.
HOW TEAM SCORING WORKS
Your team score is the combined points of everyone on your team. There is no limit to how many participants you can have on a team. So for all you math majors out there, the more people you recruit on your team, the better chance you have of winning.
*Your team members do not need to register for the same start times in order to be on your team. Your individual points will also apply to the Individual Division so you can compete in both categories.
