In 2014, Men’s Health is returning with our 9th annual URBANATHLON series, celebrating the Men’s Health work hard, play hard mentality. The URBANATHLON challenges competitors-or more accurately, flat-out dares them-to set new personal standards for what it means to be fit.

Whether you are taking on the classic distance or the sprint distance course, the URBANATHLON is the ultimate test of endurance, strength, mobility and pure toughness. Post race, the excitement continues at the Men’s Health URBANATHLON Festival, with DJ sets, food and drink, and tons of stuff from our sponsors to demo, sample, and take home.

New in 2014, the URBANATHLON Sprint! A 3-5 mile race featuring 7+ obstacles, including the stair climb and the signature finish, which will have you jumping over taxis, crawling under cargo nets, climbing over buses and tackling an 8-fott wall before claiming victory.
