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.
