From the Organizer

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:

  • Run 1 - 1mile run, two person team carries one wreck bag during the run and trades off as needed. Once back from the loop go into workout1
  • 100 WB Cleans. (WB Deadlift modification)  You Go, I Go (YGIG)  
  • 100M Walking WB Lunges. YGIG format.  (body weight lunges modification)
  • Run 2 - 1 mile run, same as run 1
  • 100 Burpee over the WB.  (Up - Downs modification) YGIG format. 
  • 100M WB Toss. YGIG format
  • Run 3 - 1 mile run same as runs 1 and 2.
