SITREP: You are down to the final 2 minutes of the big game. Using teamwork, communication, and endurance, can your team pull off a miracle play for an upset win? 
 
Location: Range #3 (25 yard bay)
 
Ammo Count: (per team)

• Pistol: 8 mags of 3 rounds (24 rounds total) per team.
  
• Carbine: 8 Mags of 3 rounds (24 rounds total) per team.

 
Stage Time: 2 Minutes ???
 
Shooting Position: Standing. Body armor worn by hardcore athletes. 
               
Number of shooters at once: 1 shooter, but a team relay stage.
 
Description: On command from RSO, load and holster pistol. Carbines will remain unloaded while in motion and will only be loaded & unloaded at the marked (cones) shooting positions.
 
On command from the RSO, the team will lift the log off the ground and place on the shoulder of team members. 

• On the shot timer beep, the stage begins and the team will lift the log over their heads to release 1 athlete from the log.
  • Once the athlete is gone, the team will lower the log onto their shoulders. The log may not be permanently rested on top of the team’s heads. Must rest on shoulder while an athlete is shooting. This forces lifting the log up and down several reps through out the stage.
• 1 Athlete will leave the log and choose any of the marked (coned) shooting position.
  • Using handgun or carbine (shooters choice), shoot 1 round into the A Zone body box of each of the 3 targets which correlate with the color of the cone at that shooting position.
  • If a position has 2 cones, the athlete will shoot a total of  6 rounds (either 2 handgun mags, 2 carbine mags, or 1 of each).
  • Each coned position may only be used (shot from) once.
• Once the athlete has fired all rounds and carbine and has been shown clear of magazine and bolt to the rear on an empty chamber with weapon on safe, the athlete will go back to the team.
• Before the team releases the next athlete.
  • The log must be lifted from shoulders to over head.
  • The log must stay inside the designated log lifting area (may not follow the shooter around the range.)
  • All team mates must be physically touching the log (tagging in/out)
  • All team members must shoot before a team member shoots a second time. One team member can not shoot 2 times in a row, except at double coned shooting positions.

 
Scoring: 

• 1 point per hit in the A Zone body box.  Total score = TEAM SCORE. 
• BONUS Points!  = The top 5 fastest teams who complete all shooting positions within par time will be rewarded a ranking down point bonus.  Fastest team will receive 5 point bonus, 2nd fastest team will receive 4 point bonus, 3rd fastest team will receive 3 point bonus, etc.
• Max Team Score Possible = 48 points plus 5 point bonus = 53 points.

This is a fast paced - pistol only stage - requiring physical endurance.

We're already planning the 2025 Wolverine 5K tactical adventure race.

1. Bowline.

​RULES:

• NEW: There is a no maximum time limit, but you must return to the start/stop point by 1700 hours or a search party will go out looking for you. 
• Failure to find all check points  will disqualify your team from winning the event.
• NEW: For Hardcore competing teams: Non athlete team members will not be permitted in the field, nor will they be allowed in active live fire areas. They may not assist the team in any fashion what-so-ever. This includes being a mule, caddy, scout, jamming mags, motivational support cheer leader, or any other helpful duties other than photography. If caught doing so, will result in an integrity violation resulting in an individual/team ban from all future Wolverine 5Ks.  Recreational teams will have more leniency. 
• Teams must stick together during the entire portion of the 5K route. This includes at Check Points, between checkpoints, and at FRAGOS. If caught splitting up, will result in an integrity violation resulting in an individual/team ban from all future Wolverine 5Ks.

All stages are included. Slight changes may occur while proofing stages.
