Get ready to pump iron and hit the pavement in Ames, IAβ€”this unique event combines bench pressing with a 5K run or walk where your lifting reps actually reduce your race time! Athletes can weigh in and lift between 8:00-8:45 am, then race shortly after, with each successful bench press subtracting 30 seconds from your 5K time (up to 15 minutes total). Whether you're going all-in with the pump-and-run challenge, sticking to just the 5K, or bringing the kids for the 8:45 am dash, there's a way for everyone to support law enforcement while crossing that finish line!
