YOUR TOUGHEST URBAN RACE EVER! Boasting new obstacles, and a mystery one that will challenge like none before, the 2014 Men’s Health Urbanathlon will be your toughest ever. Four years on, the Men’s Health Urbanathlon has built a well-deserved reputation for being a true barometer of exactly how fit you are, and whether you’ve got real-world strength to surmount challenges. Last year’s iteration also marked a milestone in the competition, when 300 female runners ran side by side with their male counterparts, and proved their mettle by taking on the same obstacles with equal skill and panache. This year, both sexes will find the Urbanathlon an even tougher challenge, especially when they consider the new challenges in their paths. With brand new obstacles like Leap of Faith, Peaks & Troughs, Balance Sheet, Curve Analysis and Wire House, all Urbanathletes will need to dig deep into their physical and mental reserves to conquer this contest. On top of this, there’s no finishing the race without getting past our new Mystery Obstacle, which will test your five senses like no other race. Marking the first time such a challenge has been introduced, participants will have to wait till the very day of the run to find out what’s expected of them!

WHO ARE THE URBANATHLETES? � The race is open to men and women aged 18 and above.

� 3,500 men and women will be taking part in the race.

� 10% of them are women who have participated.

� 125 teams signed up for the Corporate category, making up 15% of the participants.

� 32% are non-Singaporeans.
