Each category will have its own awards.  Age categories are: Under 14, 14-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 60 plus 

Medals will be awarded to the top female and male runner in each age category and trophies for overall fastest male and overall fastest female.

Medals will be awarded to the top female and male rucker in each age category and trophies for overall fastest male and overall fastest female.

Each member of the Guidon team registers as an individual (paying individual registration fees) but the team must run together with only the Guidon being chipped for timing. Battle streamers will be awarded for all participating guidon teams registering by March 1 and the fastest guidon team will be awarded a special battle streamer!  

Pricing increases each month so register now!!!!!!

SPECIAL RUCK INSTRUCTIONS

To participate there is NO minimum weight requirement to ruck.  To be chipped and compete for a medal in the GoRUCK division, there are weight requirements and you must weigh in prior to the start of the event.  The top male and top female finishers in each age category will be weighed again at the conclusion of the event. Please read rules and requirements and contact us with any questions.

The GORUCK division of the Stony Point Guidon Ruck and Run 5K requires participants to carry a weighted rucksack or other type weighted backpack. For participants weighing 149 lbs or less, a 10-pound weight is required to qualify for the competitive GORUCK division.  For those weighing 150 lbs or more, a 20-pound weight is required to qualify for the competitive GORUCK division.  Weighted vests are now allowed and do qualify for the competitive GORUCK division.
Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters in full turnout gear also qualify for the competitive GORUCK division.  We will weigh your ruck, but not your body! Your body weight is on the honor system.  Rucks will be weighed at each event prior to the start.  Ruckers ​will receive a special mark on their running bib showing their ruck has met the standard for medal consideration. ​Rucks must be compliant with the prescribed weight for the duration of the event.  All participants are required to supply their own rucks and weights. 

Ruckers can carry almost any items to meet the standard weight outlined above. In other races, we’ve seen ruckers carry the following items in their rucks to meet weight requirements: steel plates, bricks, dumbbells, ankle weights, books, the gear of a fallen loved one.
*Water bladders or anything else that can be emptied during the event will not qualify as weight. *Children are not approved weight for the GORUCK division.
