250M Sprint to finish line

Event Flow:

Athletes will begin standing on their designated start lines. On the call of “3,2,1, GO!” athletes will approach the stone, proceeding with their first stone lift. Athletes will lift the stone to the necessary height allowing them to push the stone over the rail. Athletes will run around the rail and complete the same lift on the opposite side of the rail until all 8 reps are complete. If an athlete fails to complete all 8 reps in the 02:00 time cap, each missed lift will result in a 00:30 penalty added to their final time. After completing the 8 atlas stone lifts over the rail, athletes will proceed to the husafell bag. Athletes will carry the husafell bag for 250m to the beginning of the trailhead. Once athletes reach the trailhead, they will drop the husafell bag and proceed with the 3KM mountain trail run. Athletes are expected to stay within the flag-marked boundaries. Once the summit of the trail run has been reached, athletes will complete the accuracy challenge, which will be announced during the athlete briefing prior to Event 1. Athletes will have 3 attempts to complete the accuracy challenge. Failure to complete the challenge within 3 attempts will result in a 15-burpee penalty. Once the accuracy challenge is complete, athletes will sprint 250m to the finish line.
