Registration Fees

This season we returned our pricing to a 'per category' model at the request of many of our competitors who did not like the bundle package introduced last season. In return, we've added some really nice goodies for this event!


There are still no limits on how many Individual Category qualifying runs one can run however below is the policy regarding the maximum number of tandems and relays one can register for. These restrictions aid us in accommodating as many firefighter athletes as possible at the event.


First Category Registration Fee: $100.00

(includes one meal voucher for one healthy meal from our caterer, an event t-shirt, a custom water bottle, a custom World Championship Competitor 3ft x 5ft polyester flag, a world patch, all event snacks/beverages, one Hall of Fame/LIONS DEN Ceremony meal voucher, a Welcome Reception meal voucher, access to our onsite sports therapists, and a whole lotta fun!) 


Additional Categories Registered: $50.00 per category

(each category registration includes one healthy meal voucher for one meal from our caterer, all event snacks/beverages, access to onsite sports therapists, and whole lotta fun)

Schedule of Events

Our Welcome Reception on Sunday evening is the only evening event being offered. This gives our competitors time to explore all that Nashville has to offer. Our qualifying round days will begin with the Individual Category, followed by Tandems, and then Relays.
