THE URBAN ENGINE - Peckham, London
THE URBAN ENGINE is an indoor functional fitness event held at Copeland Park in Peckham. The format moves away from running and uses eight back-to-back, split-timed functional workouts that produce a combined result. The programme includes Erg Bike (3,000m), Sled Push (100m), Ski Erg (1,500m), Burpee Jumps (100m), Row (1,500m), Walking Lunges (100m), Assault Bike (100 calories) and Wall Balls (100 reps). Weights and movement standards vary by division and full standards are published in the official rulebook.
The event presents a live atmosphere with music, spectators, professional race timing and finish-line moments. On-site services listed for the event include a live DJ, photography, massage and sports injury therapists, an aid station, secure bag drop, a coffee bar and brand activations. A technical briefing is provided by email before race day and repeated during the athlete briefing on the day.
The format is described as a shorter, sharper hybrid competition. Entry categories accommodate different divisions and most athletes finish in around 45 to 75 minutes depending on pacing and division. The event is organised by By-Athena and takes place in Peckham, London. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
