Social media key message
1. One course. Every level.
Same course, same standards. Elites, Age Group athletes, teams, first-timers all share the same space. That’s the hook: inclusive without being watered down.
2. Simple format. Serious challenge.
10 zones. 500m runs before each. 5km total. Easy to understand, hard to execute. This helps people get it fast when scrolling.
3. Choose how you race.
Individual, Team, Elite, RUCK, ULTRA. Competitive if you want it. Social or strategic if that’s your lane. DEKA isn’t one type of athlete.
4. A proper indoor race experience.
Big venue. Loud energy. Weekend-long event. This isn’t a gym comp squeezed into a timetable, it’s a headline race.
5. A shared weekend, not just a race slot.
People don’t just “turn up and leave”. Teams, affiliates, supporters, athletes across divisions all in one place. That sense of scale and community is huge on social.
