Boulder Boogie
Once upon a time, ancient Scots discovered rocks. They got so excited they stacked 'em, laid roads with 'em, made cairns to remember great battles and chieftains, built cool castles, stacked a bunch more, crowned kings on one, dropped some on the heads of invading neighbors, then stacked some upright so a thousand years later people would see them and ask, "Wha' they do that for?"
Then one day while waiting for health clubs to be invented, a stout Scotsman picked up a big rock and took it for a walk, and his arms and legs and heart got stronger and stronger… Which brings us to your challenge: The Boulder Boogie.
Basically, pick up a big rock and walk as far as you can…'til you drop it!
This feat of strength and endurance is open to Men and Women, (although there are bonnie lassies pictured here, the event is open to big braw lads too, aye.) with each class having two options: Great Big Rock or Regular Big Rock. Prizes will be awarded at the end of each day for Troll of the Day with 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in each class. The overall weekend winners in the Great Big Rock class become "TROLL KING & TROLL QUEEN" and win another heavy prize.
This is an ongoing event throughout the weekend of the Central Florida Scottish Highland Games on the Ceremony Field. The contest is free to join, but a release of liability will be required when you sign up. We'll no' be responsible if you get bested by a boulder.
