Rallie Les 12 Travaux d'Hercule

The rally of the 12 labours of Hercules was born in 1968 from a group of friends who wanted to organize an event after the birth of the SAA AUGIAS in 1967. Initially, this rally was cartographique, with a route that participants had to realize with a fairly high hourly average. Such rallies included parts opened to traffic and other closed from 1 to 2 km.
This rally is located around Cherveux and le Chapelle Bâton, in the Deux-Sèvres département of western France.

Hercules & Football

Hércules Club de Fútbol, S.A.D. is a Spanish football team formed in 1922, playing in 2008-09 in Segunda División. The team is based in the city of Alicante, in the autonomous community of Valencia, and holds home games at the Estadio José Rico Pérez, which seats 30,000 spectators.

Hércules was too a professional soccer team that played in San Salvador, El Salvador. Hércules was a powerhouse during the late 1920's and early 1930's, winning titles in 1927, 1928 and in the 1929-30, 1930-31, 1931-32, 1932-33, 1933-34 seasons. Although the Primera División de Fútbol Profesional in El Salvador didn't exist at that time, and the Salvadoran Sports Comission (Comisión Nacional de Educación Física) didn't conduct an official national tournament during those years, the championships they won are often considered the national titles.

Strength athletics

Strength athletics, more generally known as strongman competitions, is a sport which tests competitors' strength in a variety of different ways.

Normally, a strongman contest comprises six events, though at the top level of competition, seven or eight events may be held. Among the most common events are:

-Farmer's Walk - competitors race along a course while carrying a heavy weight in each hand. A variation is the Giant Farmer's Walk, with a much heavier weight carried over a shorter distance.

-Hercules Hold or Pillars of Hercules - contestants stand between two pillars, pivoted to fall outwards. The competitor must simply hold them up for as long as possible.

-Vehicle Pull - probably the most famous of all strongman events. The competitor pulls a vehicle from a stationary start, for a prescribed distance - fastest over the course wins. In smaller competitions the vehicle is usually a truck, however in major contests such as World's Strongest Man anything goes, including trains and aeroplanes.

-Atlas Stones - five stones of increasing weight are placed on top of podia at approximately head height. This used to form the climax of most strongman events but has been seen less in recent years.

-Refrigerator Carry - a staple of earlier WSM events that has made a comeback in recent years. The competitors carry two refrigerators, attached to an iron bar they hold on their shoulders, and walk it across the finish line as fast as they can.

-Carry and Drag - an object (usually a heavy anchor) is run across half of the course. The competitors then must attach it to a chain of almost equal weight and pull it across the rest of the course.
