Arnold 5K Pump & Run / 5K Run

 

 

The Arnold 5K Pump & Run, which tests overall fitness by measuring both strength and endurance, is the largest race of its kind in the United States.

The race will have a record 850 competitors when the 2011 Arnold 5K Pump and Run is held on Sunday, March 6. A stand-alone 5K run is also held for those who do not take part in the Pump and Run.

Athletes from more than 30 states participated in the 2010 5K Pump & Run. In the competition, participants bench press a percentage of their body weight. Each lift (up to a max of 30) reduces their 5-kilometer run time by 30 seconds.

In 2010, Washington, D.C.'s Vaughn O'Brien, 34, a Pump & Run veteran who has finished in the top 10 for several years in a row, scored his first victory by following a max of 30 reps on the bench press with a 16:16 time in the 5k to win in 1:16. Scott McLean of Dexter, Mich., finished second in 1:41 after running the 5k in 16:41. Michigan's Lisa Veneziano won the women's race for a sixth straight year with a net time of 3:18 (18:18 5k, 30 reps).

The Arnold 5K Pump & Run has 10 age / gender divisions. Depending on age, men must bench press 60 to 100 percent of their weight, and women 40 to 70 percent of their weight. U.S. Marine Corps drill instructors oversee the bench press and inspire lifters to their maximum.

Weigh-in and bench press begin at 7 a.m. Sunday March 6. The running portion of the 5K Pump & Run begins at 10:30 a.m. Spectators are welcome and the outdoor portion of the event is free. Admission to the “pump” portion of the Arnold 5K Pump & Run is included in the $15 daily ticket ($10 in advance) to the Arnold Sports Festival.

The 5K run-only event begins at 9:15 a.m. on Sunday, March 6 at the north end of the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

REGISTRATION FOR THE ARNOLD 5K PUMP & RUN OPENS ON NOV. 1, 2010 and will close when 850 athletes have registered. Once registration is closed it is closed and there is no waiting list. Entry fee is $60 by Dec. 1, 2010 or until 850 athletes register and $70 after Dec. 1 or until 850 athletes register.

REGISTRATION FOR THE ARNOLD 5K REMAINS OPEN THROUGH RACE DAY. Cost is $30 until Feb. 24, 2011 and $35 between Feb. 25 and March 5. Entry includes t-shirt and Daily EXPO ticket ($10 value) for Sunday, March 6.
