The purpose of Night of the Living Deadlift is simple: unite a community of individuals and local businesses around a common cause — helping our local animal shelter while having a great time. Every dollar of profit is donated to the Animal Welfare Society of Jefferson County.
Deadlifting is an essential human movement — we should all be able to lift from the ground, whether it's a child, a pet, a grocery run, a laundry load, or a heavy barbell. Participants enter three deadlift attempts to compete on a rolling schedule. Heavy weights and PRs are encouraged but never required — this is all for fun and community. (It's not a sanctioned powerlifting meet!)
Food trucks Mama K’s and Simply Smoothie will be on site.
Free for spectators but donations to Jefferson County AWS are encouraged. Athletes can register as individuals for $40 or team for $35
