The race for prize-winning places was in three age categories: among military men under 30, over 30 years and over 40 years. Participants had to run 100 m, 1 or 3 km, to get over obstacle course, to throw a grenade with maximum accuracy and do as many pull-ups on the crossbar as possible.

Military personnel of military faculties who were not included in the main teams but wished to compete in the individual championship, could take part in the championship.
