The Men's Health Urbanathlon

'Power' -Kanye West f/ Dwele

Last week Men's Health, Gatorade, and Jeep teamed up to help those less fortunate. These great companies sponsored and hosted an Urbanathlon. Though this was not your typical race. Urbanathlon benefits the Challenged Athlete's Foundation, also known as CAF. The CAF supports paraplegic athletes and others with prosthetics. But don't underestimate a man with a prosthetic leg. One man in that very state was running ahead of me at one point in this race.

By combining a total of ten miles running and eight urban themed obstacles only a true athlete/urbanite can overcome, everyone was in for some shocks and awes. Men's Health didn't just hold one Urbanathlon in Flushing Meadows, but there was one that took place a few short weeks ago in the windy city of Chicago. Another event will take place in two weeks in the beautiful San Francisco bay area.
