Rules

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 145lbs

Men 40 and over – Contestants will bench press 115lbs

Women 39 and under – Contestants will bench press 65lbs

Women 40 and over – Contestants will bench press 45lbs

Those participating in the 5k only will not be competing in the above divisions.

Time Deduction

20 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 45 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 will begin at 11:30am and Bench Press will begin at 12pm. Race will commence after all racers have completed their lift (approximately 1:00 pm)

The event will take place rain or shine.  If the forecast, calls for rain, then the lifting portion will take place at Crossfit Hoboken at 38 Jackson Street Hoboken, NJ 07030.

This past weekend we witnessed the best run event I’ve ever attended outside of the Crossfit Regionals/Games. Unlike the regionals, the competition isn’t riddled with exceptional Crossfit athletes. In fact, many of the competitors were there doing CrossFit for the first time. Everyone was there just enjoying themselves and the event. There are vendors there giving out free samples and spectator games set up.  Our coach Rocky won the overall event and Dave finished close behind him. Every Crossfit athlete in our gym is capable of attending this competition. If you think competing is fun, and are looking for a great way to spend a Saturday, then I would encourage you to sign up for this event.
