Firefighter's Challenge on Pensacola Beach

April 17-18, 2020
Location
Casino Beach, Gulfside Pavilion
Description
The course for the Pensacola Beach Firefighters Challenge will be on Pensacola Beach. All obstacles will be in the sand. The obstacles each participant must go through will be:
- Forced Entry
- Charged Hose Pull – Sponsored by Columbia Southern
- Kaiser Sled – Sponsored by Whataburger
- Dummy Drag – Sponsored by Fishbein Orthodontics
- Hose Hoist
Each participant will be required to wear full structural firefighting gear including boots, gloves, air packs (breathing on air), helmets, and masks.
For the team competition, the first person will complete the first obstacle, then tag the second person (standing in the staging zone), and so on until the final person crosses the finish line.
There will be two courses right next to each other – two teams/individuals will be going at the same time. Each team/person is racing for their best overall time, not against the next team/person next to them.
Teams will have a seeding round on Friday to determine when they go on Saturday for their actual competition time. The order on Saturday will be: fastest time on Friday goes first on Saturday, slowest time on Friday goes last on Saturday.
Each person gets one run of the course to score their best time. In the event there is a tie for an overall or award placement, the two teams will run the course again to determine a winner.
