The entire pathway is posted on Natural Strongman's social media accounts (events and weight details are subject to change) Event Rules:THE 2027 OPEN EVENTS All events have a maximum time of 60 seconds. EVENT 1 — TRUMP LOG FOR REPS Choose your weight and complete as many repetitions as possible. WOMEN 50kg | 60kg | 70kg | 80kg MEN 85kg | 100kg | 115kg | 130kg What does “Trump” mean? One successful rep at a heavier weight beats any number of reps at a lighter weight. For example: 1 rep at 115kg beats 10 reps at 100kg. This means athletes can choose a weight appropriate for their strength level while stronger athletes can take the risk of attempting one of the heavier options. Weight selection at individual competitions The exact procedure may vary slightly depending on the equipment available to the promoter. Some competitions may require athletes to select their weight before beginning and stay with that weight. Other competitions may have multiple logs available and allow athletes to attempt a heavier option before dropping to a lighter one, you can only score on one weight. The promoter will confirm the exact procedure for their competition. EVENT 2 — TRUMP DEADLIFT FOR REPS The Deadlift uses the same Trump principle as the Log. WOMEN 125kg | 150kg | 175kg | 200kg MEN 210kg | 240kg | 270kg | 300kg Again: One successful rep at a heavier weight beats any number of repetitions at a lighter weight. Individual promoters will confirm exactly how weight selection will operate at their competition based on the equipment available. EVENT 3 — SANDBAG LOADING RACE Four sandbags are carried and loaded from progressively shorter distances. Bag 1 — 10 metres Bag 2 — 8 metres Bag 3 — 6 metres Bag 4 — 4 metres WOMEN 60kg | 70kg | 80kg | 90kg Women load the bags over a 44-inch height. MEN 100kg | 110kg | 120kg | 130kg Men load the bags over a 48-inch height. You DO NOT need to finish all four bags to get a result. This is particularly important for athletes looking at these weights and thinking: “I won't be able to finish that.” That is completely fine. We expect a significant number of athletes not to finish the entire four-bag loading race. A split time is recorded for every successfully loaded bag. That means your aim might be: Get two bags as quickly as possible. Or: Get three bags as quickly as possible. While another athlete may be trying to complete all four. For example, if you are in one of the lighter divisions and know the fourth bag is currently beyond you, that should not discourage you from entering the competition. Your job is to complete as many bags as you can and to complete them as quickly as possible. Those split times allow your performance to be ranked against the other athletes in your division and against athletes on the wider leaderboard. You don't have to finish an event to compete effectively. EVENT 4 — FARMERS WITH A DECISION This event gives athletes a tactical choice. WOMEN 70kg / 90kg per hand MEN 110kg / 130kg per hand Every athlete begins with the lighter Farmers Walk implements. They complete: 10m out + 10m back = 20 metres They then have a decision. They can either: continue with the lighter Farmers or move onto the heavier Farmers (athlete self loads this). They can then attempt another: 10m out + 10m back. A time is recorded for every 10 metres completed. The Trump element After completing the opening 20 metres with the lighter Farmers: reaching 10 metres with the heavier Farmers beats any additional time or distance completed with the lighter Farmers. So the athlete has to make a decision. Do you stay lighter and try to move very quickly? Or take the risk and move onto the heavier weight? A drop outside the designated safe zone ends the athlete's run. EVENT 5 — SANDBAG CARRY FOR DISTANCE Athletes carry a sandbag for maximum distance. WOMEN 70kg / 90kg MEN 110kg / 130kg Athletes have the choice between a lighter and heavier bag. The heavier bag uses a Trump system. An athlete must complete a minimum of: 20(10m+10m) metres with the heavier bag for that performance to trump performances using the lighter bag. Once that 20-metre minimum has been reached, the heavier-bag performance ranks ahead of any distance achieved with the lighter bag. *ONCE YOU REGISTER, PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF WITH AN EMAIL SO I HAVE THE CORRECT LAST NAME AND THE STATE YOU WILL BE REPRESENTING, AND YOUR T-SHIRT SIZE.   *I WILL BE CONTACTING LOCAL HOTELS IN THE AREA AND WORKING ON GETTING US A DISCOUNT.
