The CMC competition is broken down into three components to test strength, endurance, and agility. Race day structure will consist of "The PIT" (lifting element) into a five mile mountain race with strategically placed military obstacles. This structure is what separates the Civilian Military Combine from all other races and competitions. The PIT is designed to be the great equalizer by leveling the playing field between power athletes and endurance runners to determine the best overall conditioned athlete. This race structure has been carefully created, refined, and reviewed by the top strength and conditioning coaches from the CrossFit community, United States Armed Forces and USA Triathlon Organization Race Directors. The registration fee is $100 per person.
