3. When ready start your device and begin
   * Device will need to record and show the distance travelled and the elapsed time 
4. After completing the 1 mile carry, stop the GPS device and the challenge is complete

MOVEMENTS

1 Mile Weighted Carry

• Any 1 mile route may be used as long as it can be verified with the participants electronic device. More Information can be found below regarding course verification.
  Note: Your selected 1 mile route should be as flat as possible as elevation changes do not impact your score.
• Any method of carrying the weight is acceptable: In a rucksack, on your shoulder, cradle, farmers carry, etc.
• Competitors may put their weight down and pick it back up as many times as needed during the 1 mile course.
• Any athlete who alters/modifies the equipment or movements described in this document or shown in the video standards may be disqualified from the competition if deemed by the head judges to give an unfair advantage.

Course Verification & Devices

• Competitive athletes are required to submit a verification of their mile course during their score submission. Verification can be a screenshot of the app used directly in your phone or a photo taken of the screen of a secondary device that tracks your course that shows the required course information
• These photos and screenshots will need to be attached to your submission in the BTWB app.
• Recommended programs/apps to use include (but are not limited to): Trailforks, All Trials, Garmin Connect, Nike Running Club, Strava, etc.
• Recommended secondary devices included (but are not limited to): Polar, Garmin, Suunto, Bushnell
• What the judges will look for you in your screenshot/picture:
  * If available based on the program you used: map showing your 1 mile route (units can be feet or meters)
  * Total accumulated time
  * Average pace
  * Optional information to include in the shot: Speed, Elevation Gain

Any athlete who alters/modifies the equipment or movements described in this document may be disqualified from the competition if deemed by the head judges to give an unfair advantage.

All video submissions should be uncut and unedited in order to accurately display the performance. Videos shot with a fisheye lens or similar lens may be rejected due to the visual distortion these lenses cause.  Sound should be ON during the filming. Be sure the athlete has adequate space to safely complete the movements and clear the area of all extra equipment, people, or other obstructions so that the video is clear.

Critical items that need to be clearly visible on the video: 

1.  Scale verification using a dumbbell or kettlebell 
2. Weighing of the athlete's selected weight they will carry
3. The process of setting the GPS device ready to start the challenge
4. Clearly show challenge data - distance covered and time taken - on the GPS device used 

THE ATHLETE WILL NEED TO FOLLOW THE STEPS OUTLINED BELOW:

1. The submitted video should take place at or very close to the start line and begin with the entire athlete in frame stating their name, the challenge name, their division.
2. The athlete needs to show the camera all the equipment and supportive equipment they are wearing or will wear for the challenge to confirm it all matches the rules outlined.
3. Scale verification. The athlete must place a kettlebell or dumbbell onto a scale and show the scale reading is correct.
   * The weight of the kettlebell or dumbbell must be shown/visible to the camera
   * The correct scale reading while the object is on the scale must be shown/visible to the camera
4. The athlete needs to weigh the object to be carried on the digital scale, clearly showing the scale reading to the camera.  
5. The athlete should show the GPS device being set to the start.
   * Distance and time at 0 visible
6. When ready to begin, show time.is to the camera and then the athlete may end this portion of the video.
   * The athlete should immediately pick up their weighted object, start their GPS device and begin their 1 mile course
   * If the athlete has an assistant filming the video for them, it is best to keep the camera filming as the athlete starts running their 1 mile capturing the first few hundred feet. Then, the video may conclude for this portion.
7. When you are done with your 1 mile course, "end" your run on your GPS device (if needed) and immediately turn the camera back on.
   * Show time.is to the camera again
   * Show your GPS device displaying the distance traveled, time taken, average pace, and course map (if available)
   * If the athlete has an assistant filming the video for them, it is best to turn the camera on to capture the last few hundred feet of the run and the athlete crossing the 1 mile mark
8. Once all of these items are completed and are clearly visible, your video may end.
   * All of the steps above should be done with the camera continuously running for the video to be accepted.
   * Failure to show these steps/items could make the video submission subject to rejection at the judges' discretion.
   * Refer to The Standard demo video on the Rogue website for a visual of how the workout and video should flow.

Failure to show these items makes submission subject ineligible.
