Contestants have to bench press their body weight as many times as possible, then run a 5k afterwards. There's a scoring system that figures out who the overall winner is.
Furthermore, wouldn't it be awesome to meet Arnold?
Have any of you (on letsrun) competed in this event?

Of course they have. The old guys get to bench a lot less than their weight and brag about the great time they ran on that 2.9 mile 5k. The 2nd or 3rd place meatheads always have to complain about how they should change all the rules because they can bench more but are slower runners and would have won if the correct rules were in place.
You should take a look at the results...Remarkable results on both the men and womens side...
