TACTICAL CHALLENGES

Teams of 4 compete across five challenges for points, and the highest total takes home The Tactical Cup.

The Walk Down: Make your entrance! Send 2 to 4 teammates out to your team’s song in a coordinated walk-out. Our judges score style, energy and crowd noise.

Ruck Relay: A team suicide sprint. One teammate runs at a time, then hands off the weighted vest like a baton.

Gear-Up Race:

How fast can you suit up?

Competitors race into full gear in heats: fire vs. fire, police vs. police, National Guard vs. National Guard.

Bring your own gear and it will be stored safely on stage.

Tug-of-War: Single elimination, winner advances, until one team is left standing.

Rescue Drag: A relay where each teammate drags a weighted rescue dummy for one leg.

Also on the schedule: a K9 demonstration and awards for Best Walk Down, MVP, and the Spirit Award for the loudest cheer section.
