Go Ruck It Up: This event is a timed circuit that turns up the intensity with a weighted vest—20 lbs for men and 10 lbs for women. Athletes will grind through a metcon of hand-release push-ups, sit-ups, burpees over box, and bearcrawl to the finish.
Men: 15 hand-release push-ups, 20 sit-ups, and 10 burpees over box.
Women: 10 hand-release push-ups, 15 sit-ups, and 10 burpees over box.

After completing all three of those movements, athletes will bearcrawl approximately 50 feet to the finish line and hit a button to stop the clock.

Hammer Time: Athletes will test their grip, shoulder, and mental toughness in this static strength challenge. Each competitor will hold a sledgehammer in each hand—5 kg (12 lbs) for females and 10 kg (22 lbs) for males—with arms extended to the sides (a slight bend in the elbow is acceptable). When gripping the hammer, the athlete must leave a gap of approximately 1 inch between their hand and the Anvil/head of the hammer. The time will start when their arms are extended and in the correct position. The athlete's hands may not go above the top of their head, and the tops of the hammer  must remain above the tops of their shoulders. Time will stop as soon as either hammer drops below the shoulder. If the judge tells the athlete their hands are too high and the athlete is unable to lower their hands into the correct positions within 3 seconds, the time will stop. The athlete with the longest hold time will be awarded the best score.

Timber Lift: This event challenges athletes to deadlift a log of timber fitted with a bar that is attached by a chain. Similar to a deadlift, the athlete must lift the log by fully extending their legs and back to a full upright position with hips pressed forward. The log is divided into segments marked with numbers 1–15. Each section increases in weight as the athlete works their way down the log. Athletes will have 10 sec after finishing a lift to reposition and begin their next lift. Those who complete the most segments will earn the best score. An athlete may choose to accept their score after completing a difficult lift and not attempt the following section. If an athlete fails to complete a lift, they may attempt that same section on more time. However, if they complete the lift on the second attempt, that will be their final score, they may not advance to the next section. If they do not complete the second attempt, the previous section they did complete will be their score. Women will begin at section 1, Men will begin at section 5. 

Tractor Pull: Competitors will pull a tractor 50 feet using a rope attached to the tractor. Athletes will be in a seated position with their feet braced against a wooden platform. The goal is to pull the load as fast as possible. When the tractor is close enough, the athlete will reach out and ring a bell hanging on the front of the tractor to stop the clock.

Wheelbarrow Wrangler: Athletes will carry 3 feed bags 50 ft to load into a wheelbarrow. Men: 2 × 100 lb bags and 1 × 50 lb. Women: 3 × 50 lb bags. They will then push a wheelbarrow back to the starting point by weaving in and out of a series of logs. If they tip over a log by hitting it at any point, they must reverse and attempt to maneuver around that log again. Time stops when the athlete crosses the finish line.
