Event one: Max Log

Athletes will have 3 attempts to lift their max weight. Athletes will be given 30s per attempt. If you fail a lift you cannot go down in weight on your next attempt but can opt to retry the same weight or increase. Following each lift, athletes will immediately declare their next lift to the crew.

Minimum opening lift for each category:

First timers (FT): 31KG

Novice (N): 36KG

Inters (I): 41KG

Open(O): 46KG

Log is a 10" Mirafit 31kg

There will be a separate trophy for heaviest log lift of the day. Guest lifters welcome!

Event two: Deadlift for reps
Athletes will have a choice of 2 bars, trump style. 60s to complete as many reps as possible. You can go down in weight but cannot go up.
No suits. Straps 6s and 8s allowed.

FT: 80kg or 100kg

N: 100kg or 120kg

I: 120kg or 140kg

O: 140kg or 160kg or 180kg

Event three: Sandbag Toss

Athletes will throw a sandbag over a 3m bar from increasingly further distances away, starting from 1m and increasing by 0.5m per round. Athletes can skip rounds but can't go back. Athletes will continue to throw at each distance until a miss. There will be 2 attempts for each distance. If you miss the same distance twice, you are out.

FT/N: 6kg
I/O: 8kg

Event four: Sandbag Steeplechase
16m course with yoke at halfway point. Athletes will pick, carry and load the sandbag over a yoke at 44", up and down the course for max distance in 60s. The sandbag can only touch the ground either side of the yoke - any other drops on the course and your distance will be taken from there.

FT: 40kg

N: 50kg

I: 60kg

O: 70kg

Event five: Overhead medley

While two overhead events may be unusual, its important to test max strength, speed and skill. After all, you can't be Queen of Yorkshire without all three.
Event will consist of 3 reps on an axle, 2 reps on KB/CDB and 1 rep on an 'odd object'. Athletes can skip lifts but cannot go back - you are scored out of 6 total lifts.

Athletes will have 60s to complete their reps. If the first 5 lifts are completed within the time, you will have an additional 20s awarded plus any time remaining from the original 60s to attempt the odd object lift.
