Due to issues with back-ups and large groups in the past, only two runners can start together. We will try to be accommodating to participants who wish to share firearms or equipment (we can have one person run in the morning and the other in the afternoon), or to partners who wish to run together. Think of this as a test of how you and your equipment would perform in a Second Amendment situation if you had to go take care of business at your current state of readiness, whatever that is.

Shooters are expected to have all their firearms sighted in and all their gear ready to go on the morning of the shoot. Packs may be removed prior to shooting, as that is how 5th Group would generally do it as well вЂ“ but this will be done on your run time and BEFORE any wait time starts.

Any weapons carried must be IN ADDITION to a primary rifle and pistol, and weight of the pack must be stand-alone (a plate carrier would not be included or required, for example). You can even carry a shotgun to engage steel pistol targets if you want (birdshot only). Think a scoped bolt gun or different upper in 6.5 Creedmore will give you an advantage? Go for it.

The only limit is that pistol targets must be engaged with pistol rounds, and rifle targets must be engaged with rifle rounds. There are three equipment classes to reflect the different ways Green Berets fight: вЂњLightfighterвЂќ in which you can carry whatever you want, but are limited to one pistol and one rifle вЂњOperatorвЂќ in which you must wear body armor with rifle-rated plates installed (front and back at a minimum), and are still limited to one pistol and rifle and вЂњTier OneвЂќ in which you must FINISH the race with a pack weighing at least 45 lbs (not including your main rifle and pistol) вЂ“ but that pack may (and should) contain ANYTHING that can give you an advantage. For the most part, if you want to carry it for 5 or 10 clicks, be our guest. This is true run-what-you-brung field-style shooting. The run score and shooting score will be equally weighted in determining the participantвЂ™s final score. Participants will receive both a score for their run based on how long it took them to complete the course, and a score for their shooting based on how long it took them to clear each course of fire. If you are the type of person who gets upset when minor changes are made to a plan or when you donвЂ™t always get your way, this is not the event for you. With the exception of emergencies, Range Officers (ROs) are not allowed to help participants in any way. This event is not intended for inexperienced shooters вЂ“ all participants are expected to be familiar with the operation of their firearms, and to observe basic principles of firearm safety at all times. It is intended to give participants an idea of how being hot, cold, exhausted, and challenged by the environment affects their shooting, and to test the effectiveness of their gear under field conditions. The event is a test of man and equipment alike.

The 2021 Legion 9/11 Memorial Run N Gun is a centerfire biathlon вЂ“ competitors will complete a 5k-ish or 10k-ish run combined with a shooting competition.
