50cc: solo, half distance. Single Engine: solo, full distance. Twin Turbo: doubles (Women's, Men's or Mixed). Three Litre: trios (Women's, Men's or Mixed). Booking for a big group? You can also buy a Full Wave ticket, which takes all 10 lanes of one wave.

Your team does every station together. One athlete works at a time and you can swap whenever you like (Sled Push swaps happen at the lane ends only). Resting team-mates walk behind the working athlete on the Burpee Jumps and Weighted Lunges. Mixed teams race at the men's weights.

Women's / men's: Sled Push 102 / 152 kg (incl. sled), Weighted Lunges 10 / 20 kg, Wall Balls 4 kg to 2.7m / 6 kg to 3.0m. 50cc athletes use the same weights. Full standards are on by-athena.com/theurbanengine

Entries are non-refundable unless you added Refund Protection (Let's Do This's Refundable Registration, provided by Protect Group) at checkout. It covers your own circumstances, such as illness, injury or travel disruption, and claims go directly to Protect Group with your booking reference and supporting evidence; their full terms apply. It can only be added at checkout, not afterwards. Without it, you can still pass your place to a friend up to 7 days before the event (see above). Full details are in our Event Terms.

Yes. We're an inclusive community and we adapt the race to suit the athlete. Email info@by-athena.com before race day and we'll work out the right set-up with you.

No. There's no official time limit, so take it at your own pace. Most athletes finish in around 45 to 75 minutes, depending on ability. That's an average, not a cut-off. Athletes start in staggered waves within their division's window, so your speed never affects anyone else. If you feel unwell at any point, stop and tell the nearest marshal: trained first aiders and medical staff are on site.

No. For safety you need to hear marshals, announcements and other racers. The DJs have the soundtrack covered.

Yes, as long as you start the race with them (a handheld bottle, belt or vest). Hydration stations with water and electrolytes are inside the venue.

We use it to build fair, competitive waves and manage racer flows through the day. Be honest rather than hopeful! It only affects your wave, not your result.
