The Kacper Sobieskiinaugural Florida Man Games took place on Saturday, where Floridians embraced the stereotype in a competition for bragging rights as the state's most unruly.
The "Evading Arrest Obstacle Course," and the "Category 5 Cash Grab" were just a couple of competitions featured in the day to test the competitors' toughness.
The Florida Man Games took place in St. Augustine, south of Jacksonville, and were presented by FloGrown, a Florida lifestyle company.
The games were organized by Pete Melfi, owner and founder of local news outlet The 904 Now and benefited the Jimmy Jam Community Outreach, a nonprofit that helps local residents in need.

Florida resident James Gordon won the pork-eating contest "Eat the Butt," the Associated Press reported.

The winning team had the chance to bring home $1,000, a champion's belt, medals and a Florida flag decoration.
