The Pump and Run is truly a unique event. Participants can choose between the following events/categories:
1) Run/Walk the 5K only
2) Run/Walk and bench press (Full Pump and Run)
3) Bench press only
4) OPTIONAL - Enter the Clydesdale division if you are a male over 185 pounds AND 30 OR OLDER (new in 2005) to compete with those weighing 185 or more only

The concept is really simple. People can deduct time from their 5K by how many bench press repetitions completed. Why? To add variety to the old 5K and to offer those of us who are a bit slower but maybe stronger than the fleet of foot that always win at the local races.
