The Ultimate SUCK

Join us this year 2026 for our 15th Anniversary on the Decker Farm. This will be a very challenging and somewhat grueling 36, 12 or 4 hour event. Our goal is to combine strenuous Mid-Western farm chores with military boot camp, trail running, strongman training, and whatever else somewhat punishing we can come up with. Think of it as Conan the Barbarian meets Full Metal Jacket with a dash of Deliverance mixed in for fun! You may want to get familiar with shooting a shot gun, carrying hay or logs, lifting, chopping wood, carrying all kinds of heavy stuff. Plus, you may want to experience the effects of pepper spray!haha...Again these are all JUST possibilities and the actual tasks will not be revealed until you encounter them at the event. Base camp will be your tent in a hay field. No RVs or buses please! You are NOT allowed to sleep once the event begins.
