DEKA Events at Ruckhouse

We do not just train DEKA. We host it. Next one: Saturday, September 12.

As a dedicated DEKA Affiliate, Ruckhouse hosts official DEKA events right at 1290 University Ave. Standardized zones, real judges, real medals, and a crowd that sounds a lot like your training partners, because it is. All fitness levels compete, from first-timers to Mark chasers.

Next event: Saturday, September 12

Choose your challenge, DEKA STRONG (the 10 zones, no running) or DEKA MILE (zones plus one mile of running).

Never done one?

Perfect. DEKA is built for exactly that, standardized zones mean your first score becomes the number you chase. Start with our DEKA Decoded guide, train the zones in our DEKA program, then step on the floor September 12.
