Submission Deadline
Participants must first cover a distance of 4-miles in as quick as time as possible. However, here's the twist: your first and last mile must be bearing a chosen load of either 0kg (no load), 5kg, 10kg, 15kg or 20kg.

10kg
15kg

Be sure to leave your weighted load in a safe place
When off-loading your weight, be sure to leave it in a safe place or with someone who can look after it while you complete the challenge. This could be at your house, place of work or in boot of your car.
Strategy 1: Point to Point
The way we see it, you have two strategies you could pick from to attempt the challenge. Each strategy all depends on whether you have a safe place to unload and leave your weight. Strategy 1 assumes that you have a safe place to leave your weight 1-mile away from your start point.
Strategy 2: Return to Starting Point
Strategy 2 assumes that you are able to leave you weight in a safe place at the start line.
