Event overview
The 2025 New England DEKA FIT takes place on Nov 22, 2025 at the University of Connecticut, Storrs Campus Student Recreation Center in Storrs, CT. Ticket prices start at $99. The event is an indoor fitness competition made up of ten functional fitness zones. Each zone is preceded by a 500-meter run, for a total distance of 5 km. The published average completion time is about 0 h 50 m 30 s. The zones are arranged to progress from basic movements to exercises that emphasize full-body movement in the later zones.
Format and logistics
The event offers multiple heat types: Age Group Heat (eligible for Age Group recognition), Elite Heat (eligible for podium recognition), Ruck Heat, and Team Heat. Ruck Heat participants must bring their own ruck or backpack - Male 30 lb, Female 20 lb - and weight vests or plate carriers are not allowed. Team Heat options include two adults (ages 14+), two youth (ages 10-13), or one adult (14+) paired with one youth (10-13); team categories include male, female, and co-ed. This New England Roadshow is a scaled version of the main DEKA FIT event: it uses the same ten zones but has no elite cash prizes and no onsite DEKA merchandise. Roadshow marks are added to the global DEKA leaderboard and can qualify participants for the 2026 DEKA World Championships. Finishers receive a tee, medal, and a DEKA FIT Trifecta wedge. Lodging options listed include Graduate by Hilton Storrs and The Inn on Storrs. Hosted by UConn Recreation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
