DEKA Fit & Mile & Ruck & Strong

DEKA is an indoor fitness competition featuring 10 functional fitness zones – it’s fitness gamified and designed for all levels. No matter your background or experience, DEKA will help you set your baseline and train with a purpose. DEKA FIT includes a 500-meter run before each zone, 5K total.

Test yourself against a global fitness standard, earn your DEKA Mark and commemorate your achievement with your finisher medal and t-shirt.

This DEKA FIT SoFlo Road Show is a slimmed down version of the big show featuring the same 10 functional fitness zones preceded by a 500-meter run as all DEKA FIT events, giving you the opportunity to earn your DEKA FIT Mark, DEKA Trifecta, and Finishers Shirt & Medals!

Additionally, DEKA FIT Marks from this Road Show will be added to the Global Leaderboard which means you can also qualify at this event for the 2024 DEKA World Championships!

This Road Show is made possible with the assistance of DEKA Affiliate Gravity + Oxygen Fitness.

How this DEKA FIT Road Show differs from our traditional DEKA FIT:

  • Heavy focus on DEKA Affiliates.
  • No Elite cash prizes but Age Group podiums are available!
  • No onsite DEKA Merchandise.
  • No bag check.
  • You may bring your own hydration and enjoy the onsite food vendor.

“I love how DEKA truly tests my physical AND mental fitness, all while putting me in a competitive atmosphere. The energy of the other athletes pushing themselves helps motivate you to give it everything you’ve got! Whether you’re beginner, intermediate, or advanced- it’s you VS. you out there… nothing like DEKA!”
