THE URBAN ENGINE

THE URBAN ENGINE is a station-based hybrid fitness event held at the Bussey Building, 133 Copeland Rd, London SE15 3SN. The event features eight sequential functional fitness stations with no running: Erg Bike (3,000 m), Sled Push (100 m, 102 kg women / 152 kg men), SkiErg (1,500 m), Burpee Jumps (100 m), Row Erg (1,500 m), Weighted Lunges (100 m, 10 kg women / 20 kg men), Assault Bike (100 calories), and Wall Balls (100 reps, 4 kg to 2.7 m women / 6 kg to 3.0 m men). Mixed teams use the men’s weights.

Athletes can enter different formats: 50CC (solo, half of every station), Single Engine (solo, full stations), Twin Turbo (doubles) and Three Litre (trios). In doubles and trios one athlete works at a time and teams swap as allowed by the lane rules. Most athletes finish in about 45 to 75 minutes; there is no official time limit.

Entry includes professional race timing, live tracking in the event app, event photography, live DJ sets, a warm-up area, secure bag drop, toilets, a coffee bar, aid stations and prizes for the top three in each division. The venue is an urban warehouse location with spectator viewing around the stations. Public transport is recommended as no on-site vehicle parking is available. Participants must be 17 or older on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
