THE URBAN ENGINE

BY-ATHENA is back.

After an incredible summer race weekend, we’re going back indoors in Peckham - Copeland Park for our next event. No weather risk, and NO RUNNING!!! We have eight of your favourite functional fitness challenges back-to-back and split timed.

Welcome to THE URBAN ENGINE

Built to be fast, intense and full of energy, THE URBAN ENGINE blends, functional fitness, live music and spectator support into one seriously fun race experience.

For this event we are moving away from our signature THE_URBAN_RACE half-distance format. This will be back later next year.

You’ll take on 8 rounds of functional fitness stations designed to test your engine, strength, grit and mindset.

Expect a fast, high-energy race experience with live atmosphere, music, spectators, race timing, finish-line moments and the full By-Athena community behind you!

Whether you’re racing for a podium, chasing a PB, stepping up from running, or entering your first hybrid fitness event, this is your next challenge.

Who it’s for

THE URBAN ENGINE is built for:

Seasoned hybrid athletes chasing speed and competition.

Runners looking for something more explosive than a standard race.

Gym-goers ready to test their training in a live event environment.

First-timers who want a challenge that feels big, motivating and achievable.

You don’t need to be elite to enter. You just need to be ready to push yourself.

Why race?

A shorter, sharper hybrid format.

A full indoor London race.

Our By-Athena electric race day atmosphere.

A supportive community.

Music, spectators and finish-line energy.

A challenge that is accessible, competitive and unforgettable.
