About The Event
EARN YOUR DEKA MARK! DEKA, from the creators of Spartan, is a decathlon of functional fitness designed for ALL levels. The DEKA Strong is ten functional fitness zones with ZERO running. The DEKA Mile combines the ten DEKA zones each preceded by 160-meters of running (1-mile total).
The 10 DEKA Zones include: ZONE 1: 30 RAM Alternating Reverse Lunges (Males 55 lb/ Females 33 lb/ Kids 22 lb) ZONE 2: 500-m Row (Kids 250-m) ZONE 3: 20 Box Jump Over/ Step-Overs (24-in height) ZONE 4: 25 Med Ball Sit-ups (Males 20 lb/ Females 14 lb/Kids 10 lb) ZONE 5: 500-m SkiErg (Kids 250-m) ZONE 6: 100-m Farmer’s Carry (Males 60 lb/ Females 40 lb/Kids 20 lb) ZONE 7: 25-calories Air Bike (Kids 12 cal) ZONE 8: 20 Dead Ball Over Shoulders (Males 60 lb/ Females 40 lb/Kids 20 lb) ZONE 9: 100-m Tank Push/Pull ZONE 10: 20 RAM Burpees (Males 44 lb/ Females 22 lb/ Kids 11 lb)
The DEKA events are held nation-wide and your “DEKA MARK” (time to complete all ten zones) will be ranked on SPARTAN RACE’s Leaderboard along with other athletes. That being said, while this can be a competitive event, it is also designed for all levels. For those that are not interested in competing, it’s still a great way to measure where your fitness level is currently at, and then use it as a benchmark to see how your fitness improves over time.
Prizes and Awards will be given to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners for Male, Female, Kid Male, Kid Female, Male Team, Female, Team, CoEd Team...and our favorite...MOST IMPROVED DEKA MARK in both the Strong and the Mile! Check out the awesome banners (posted on Facebook) that the FIRST PLACE awardees will receive!!! Podiums will be after the last finishers of each day.
