The HITT 2020 Installation Challenge is designed to promote the culture of physical readiness and warrior spirit across the USMC. Each Marine athlete competed in strength and endurance challenges to accrue individual points. This challenge consisted of three events throughout the day. In the first event, Marine athletes completed a 195 pound sled push for males, 150 pounds for females, 240 pound sled pull for males, 195 pounds for females, followed by a sandbag and kettlebell carry and sprint. For the second event, athletes raced against the clock to complete as many deadlifts, ground to overhead presses with a sandbag, and kettlebell squats as possible at prescribed weights for males and females. In the closing event of the HITT Installation Challenge, athletes completed a series of functional exercises including kettlebell lunges, ammo-can presses, and push-ups. Between each exercise, the athletes ran 400 meters, totaling one mile, for time.
At the end of the two day event, athletes recovered in the recovery tent provided by Beaver Fit, while the times and points for each athlete were calculated. A male and female winner was determined for MCRD Parris Island and MCAS Beaufort. The winners for each competition are below:
