This will allow a runner to reduce their run time by 15 minutes based on 30 reps (maximum allowed). If they bench press their weight 10 times – 5 minutes will be taken off the finish running time. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, it will be noted as a "0", and no time will be deducted from the 5K. Rep-bar must touch athlete’s chest and be fully extended or a no count will be given. Bench press will be judged by the U.S. Marines.
Athletes must wear running shoes at weigh-in.
Special awards for the top 3 men and women finishers. All finishers will receive medals. Top 3 awards will be mailed the week after the event.
