This event is open to anyone.   The rules are simple.  Carry two heavy weights as far as possible.  The course is set up around pylons or markers set 150’ apart.  The weights are approximately “12 stone” each.  In Scotland a stone is a weight measure equivalent to 14 pounds, so "12 stone" is 168 pounds.  Our weights are actually a little heavier than this.  They weigh in at 173 pounds each for a total of 346 pounds.  The women’s weights are 92 pounds each or a total of 184 pounds.
