    The 5K is a USATF-measured course that runs through the scenic Hudson Mills Metropark loop.

    The full hybrid event challenges athletes to perform two scored disciplines:

    Deficit Deadlift (using DefiPlate™ and a stiff bar)

    5K Run

    Competitors’ rankings are based on a combined 50/50 scoring system, rewarding both strength and endurance.
