Rounding out the event list is Weight for Height.
The rules are very simple:
Competitor will get three attempts at each height attempted to throw the implement over the bar. The highest throw over the bar will be scored.
LW & MASTER 42#
MW & HW 56#
WOMEN 28#

Event 5 of 6 of the Falls Fest Highlander is set to be the Farmer’s Walk:
FARMERS CARRY 120’ w/ turn
Competitors will carry the farmers down 60’ make the turn and 60’ back. Total length of course will be 120’. Multiple drops allowed. Fastest time wins. If the course is not finished, a measurement will be taken for your score. Belt and chalk only allowed. Weight = 165# for LW, 175# for Master, 200# for MW, 220# for HW and #85 for women.
