Rules:
- A runner's time will be based on how many times he/she can bench
press their body weight.
- There are six lifting divisions (body weight will be rounded to
the next higher 5 lb. increment. Weigh-in with shoes, shorts and
shirt):
Men 39 and under - Contestants will bench
press 100% of their weight
Men 40 and over - Contestants will bench press 90%

30 seconds per rep will be deducted from the competitor's

Lifting Technique Specifics:
Lift starts with the bar in the extended position. Feet must remain
in contact with the floor throughout the lift (no hooking bench support
with feet/legs). Bar must touch the chest and be fully extended on each
press - stopping terminates the lift. No bouncing bar off chest. Shoulder
and rear must stay in contact with the bench during lifts. If necessary,
plates may be placed under lifters' feet. No baggy clothing, belts,
wraps or lifting suits. Decisions of our judges are final. Additional
rules may be added as needed.
Awards:
Awards will be given to the top 3 men and top 3 women in the Pump and
Run Division. Pump and Run time is not used to determine awards in overall
5k race or in the Bucks 5k Series Standings.
- The Pump and Run is a stand-alone division.
