This is not your ordinary Turkey Trot. This will be a 5K-ish partner run/workout on the trail. First, what is a Wreck Bag? That is a bag with two handles filled with crushed rubber. We will be using 25lb and 40lb weighted bags for the run/workout. Here is the format:
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PARTNER WE WILL FIND ONE FOR YOU ON DAY OF THE EVENT.

We have a limited number of shirts, first come first serve, provided by our friends at Compete to Live.
We will meet at Shelter 1 (this is the shelter away from the lake and hill)
Park in designated spots only. Overflow parking is in lower lot by the lake.
