OCTOBER 18, 2025
We are the nation’s only all-female, all-first responder fitness competition, and we’re proud of it. This one of a kind event brings together women from Fire, Police, and EMS departments across the country who serve on the front lines every day. These fierce competitors step off the streets and onto the competition floor to battle it out in a series of fitness challenges. We are a celebration of strength, service, and sisterhood. Who will HOLD THE LINE in 2025?
We originated from the idea that Police Officers and Firefighters could compete in “crossover” style events to find a mutual respect for each others jobs and daily challenges. On event day you may see four Firefighters wearing heavy bulletproof vests and loading dummies into a patrol car, or four Police Officers wearing full bunker gear and dragging fire hose down the street. All in the spirit of competition and to crown the fittest of the female first responders.
Teams should consist of four women. Either all Fire, all Police, or all EMS personnel. No mixing and matching!
If you are a member from a smaller department and need help finding teammates, you can reach out to us and we can attempt to find you teammates.
Hold the Line is proud of the fact that every penny raised from sponsorships and athlete registration goes toward swag bags, prize packages, and supporting our judges and volunteers.
Last year, all proceeds from merch and swag, plus any left from sponsorships, was donated to the 100 club of San Antonio and the Thrivewell Cancer Foundation.
You can sign up with any name for now and change it later on.
Typically, HTL has four events in one single day of competition. The day starts with a team check-in and rules overview at 7:30am, and the podium/awards announcement is at 5:30pm.
For example, a team’s schedule may have Event 1 at 9am, Event 2 at 11:45am, and Event 3 at 3:00pm. There is always a “Floater Event” with no defined time that the team must complete during one of their breaks.
Events are usually 10-18 minutes, with movements varying from tire flips, hose drags, and dummy carries, to classic fitness movements like burpees, box jumps, pull ups, or deadlifts. Follow our Instagram hold_the_line_sa to read more detailed descriptions and see past photos and videos.
This year’s event announcements will be dropped on Instagram by September 18th.
Our events are always designed to allow for teammates to help each other. Typically, one member of the team must complete her movement first, and then she is allowed to assist her teammates.
