DEKA Fit Events Schedule and Venues 2024: Challenge Your Limits

DEKA FIT is a modern fitness competition featuring 10 zones of functional fitness — from lunges to farmer carries to sled push/pulls — and separated by 500 meters of running for a total of just over 3 miles run. These are all of the DEKA FIT events across the U.S. this year.

The ancient Greeks were revolutionary in many ways, one of which being gamifying and continuously testing the limits of fitness. But the original Spartans didn't measure fitness by how much they could bench press or how lean they could get in three months. Fitness, for them, was about survival, which meant being the most efficient when it came to everyday functional movements like squatting, pushing, pulling, carrying, and jumping. Today, we continue to test those same functional variables at DEKA FIT events across the country.

DEKA FIT zones are designed to require little-to-no prior fitness experience, and once you earn your DEKA Mark at your first event, that score serves as a benchmark to compare your future fitness gains to and see how far you've progressed.
