The PoweRun competition, a separate event run by the Kennett Area YMCA, is held in conjunction with the 10K and 5K Runs. The PoweRun biathlon involves skills of strength and endurance, measured by a combination of weight-lifting and distance running. Men and women 14 and over are eligible to compete. Not all runners in the races are PoweRun competitors, but all PoweRun competitors must run in either the 10K or 5K race. (See Rules and Regulations) In the men's PoweRun biathlon, for each bench press repetition of body weight (no deduction for clothing), one minute is subtracted from their finish time in the 10K Run, or 30 seconds from their finish time in the 5K Run. (See chart below). In the women's competition, the same time deductions are taken for bench press reps of 60% body weight (no deduction for clothing). (See chart below). The lower the score the better. Some winners may even score into the negative numbers! Cash prizes to top three overall males and females in both 10K and 5K runs. Awards to the top three men and women in each race for the following age categories: 14-19, 20-29, 30-39, Master 40-54, and Seniors 55 and over.

Weighing In: ♦ All participants must weigh in at the scales provided. ♦ Participants will leave their shoes and shirts on. ♦ No deduction will be taken for clothing. ♦ Lifting weight will correlate to body weight as illustrated on conversion charts. Bench Press: ♦ No warm ups on weight bench. ♦ Collars must be used. ♦ Bar must touch chest on every repetition. ♦ Arms must be FULLY extended at the end of each repetition. If you have a physical limitation that would prevent them from straightening your arms, this must be told to the official before the competitor starts lifting. ♦ Once the bar ceases to rise or begins negative movements, the spotter and/or judge will end the session. ♦ Back and hips must remain flat on the bench at all times. Any arching or moving which causes the hips to come off the bench will result in the termination of the attempts. The number of repetition prior to the hips coming off the bench will be used for the PoweRun© calculations. ♦ Feet are to remain in the same position throughout the bench press, either firmly on the floor or planted on the bench. ♦ A pause of more than 3 seconds either at the top of the lift or the bottom of the lift will trigger a warning from the official. It movement doesn’t occur immediately afterwards, the number of repetitions done to that point will be used for the PoweRun© calculations. ♦ Grip placement and distance apart is at the decision of the competitor. Once the repetitions have been initiated, then the grip cannot be changed. ♦ The judge’s ruling is FINAL. |
