Back The Blue Pump N Run

Experience the thrill of the Back The Blue Pump N Run on September 13, 2025, in Ames, Story! This unique event combines fitness with fun, encouraging participants to pump, run, or walk in solidarity with local law enforcement. The highlight is the 5K Pump and Run, where athletes showcase their strength and speed by bench pressing a percentage of their weight to reduce their run time—each successful lift shaves off 30 seconds, up to 15 minutes! Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a newcomer seeking community and camaraderie, this event is for you. Starting right after weigh-ins and lifts from 8:00 am to 9:15 am, the race awards medals to top male and female participants in each age group, plus a special trophy for the best Law Enforcement Official.
