Race details and services
A rucking division is offered. Weight requirements are: over 150 lb - 20 lb dry weight; under 150 lb - 10 lb dry weight. Weigh-ins are held 45 minutes before the race start; no weigh-in means no finisher medal. Acceptable weight forms include steel ruck plates, weight vest blocks, or bumper plates with stamped weights. Participants may not remove or reduce weight and may face random checks. Awards are given by age group for the 5K, 10K, and half marathon and overall top places for male and female ruck divisions. Aid stations are provided every 2 miles and offer Gu, BCAAs, water, and fruit. Bathrooms are available near the high school fields and in Charlie Daniel’s Park. Pre-race packet pick-up is at Fleet Feet Mt. Juliet (630 South Mt. Juliet Rd, Suite 320); race day packet pick-up is also available. Participants receive a custom item and a finishing medal, with a registration deadline to guarantee the giveaway. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
