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

A black black pillow case is a new mandatory gear requirement for hardcore athletes who will be transported to an unknown location to begin the orienteering portion of the event.

Rec teams will start/stop at MTC.
​

• Registration opens: March 15th
• Race: June 7th.
• Clandestine scavenger hunt: June 6th

Knots to be tested and graded in the Guerrilla Games:

Tie the following knots. (1 Team point per correctly tied knot.)
 
1. Bowline.
2. Alpine Butterfly.
3. Midshipman's hitch
4. Figure 8 on a bite.
5. Clove Hitch.

This should be the max ammo needed per individual.

Precision Rifle: 19 rounds
Carbine: 265 rounds
Pistol: 100 Rounds

Will be slightly less for those in teams.

​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. 

We have a pair of Recreational athletes who would like to join a team or form a a team with other solos.

If you would like to recruit them, please send me a message:

UPDATES: Removed the weight sleds and added one more 10y movement. Now worth 35 points total.

Team communication and individual endurance will help you win this stage. 

USMC calls this movement a "rush".  The Army calls it IMT (Individual Movement Technique). Whatever you name this movement, it sucks!  Normally a 3-5 second (5-7 yards) sprint. For the sake of scoring and uniformity, ours is 10 yards. 

Practice doing sprints and burpees to prepare. 

Marketed as a safety strap for helo passengers, many special operators wear this kit secured permanently on their gun belt to be used for hands free casualty recovery. Simply slap the D Ring through the casualty's drag strap and start pulling. With the weight being pulled from your waist, your hands are free to engage targets. 

For the the Wolverine 5K stage "Eagle Scouts" you will have the option to wear this lanyard, or simply use it as a tow rope to pull a simulated casualty backwards. 

If you complete every Wolverine 5K task, and able to get perfect scores on all stages, you could earn up to 471 minutes off of your 5K orienteering time. We expect the winning teams to have negative times. 

This is the initial mission plan. Updates will continue as stages are slightly modified.
