In the Boom Run both competitors in each bracket will begin at the end of a dock at the same time and at the call of "GO" will run across their own chain of spinning, floating logs, reach a second dock, circle a stanchion, run back across the chain of logs and return to the first dock. The first competitor in each bracket to complete their run wins the bracket and will advance through the rounds.

Boom Run Mixed Doubles: The format for this event is the same as for the individual Boom Run event, with two teams of two runners, each team consisting of a male and a female, competing against one another to see which team can complete their runs in the fastest amount of time. This is also a bracketed event, with the teams winning their brackets advancing through the rounds.
