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

⚙️ Hybrid Competition Overview (for reference)
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.
(Example: a strong deadlifter can still win if they post a solid run time — balance is key.)
