Determined to end Veteran suicide, K9s For Warriors provides highly-trained Service Dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma. With the majority of dogs being rescues, this innovative program allows the K9/Warrior team to build an unwavering bond that facilitates their collective healing and recovery.

Warpath Strength Pull For Paws is a partner deadlift event where two athletes will deadlift a custom-made axle bar loaded with truck tires and weight plates for as many reps as possible in one minute. Teams may be two male athletes, two female athletes or one male and one female athlete. This event is perfect for athletes who compete in strongman, powerlifting, and CrossFit.

The different weight "classes" are aligned only with the weight of the bar and have nothing to do with the weight of the athletes. So, there will be no need for any of the athletes to weigh in and "make weight." The bar weights will be set as follows:

Lightweight = 400#

Middleweight = 800#

Heavyweight = 1,200#

This is an unsanctioned charity competition. It's just for fun. There are no qualifying spots for any national championships. If you love dogs and love to deadlift, this event is for you.
