This is a short road race with an unusual twist: participants can bench press before race day, and each successful rep shaves time off their finishing clock. The weight on the bar is tied to age and gender, so the lifting challenge scales to the individual. Those who want a straight road race can skip the weights entirely and run the traditional option.
