Smiles. Sweat. Stations smashed.
This is what race day at Battersea looked like: working together, pushing harder, and crossing the line knowing you gave it everything.
THE_URBAN_RACE. HALF the distance. TWICE the atmosphere.

Fitness isn't just physical 🧠
For a lot of us, it's the thing that keeps us level.
It clears the mind and reminds us we're capable of more than we think.
THIS IS THE_URBAN_RACE BY ATHENA 🏁

Your finish time isn't the story, your splits are.
Swipe to learn how to actually read your race result and where you lost time, what it means, and the one thing to work on before your next start line.
You don't get better by just doing more, you've got to learn how to do it smarter.
The next Urban Race is coming. This time, you know what to fix.
Follow so you don't miss it. Let's go. 💪
The 3 things that will make or break your race.
1. Ski erg technique - this is where most people lose time without realising it. Arms AND legs. Drive through the whole movement, not just the pull.
2. Rowing pacing - go out too hard, and you'll blow up before you hit the ski erg. Find a rhythm you can sustain and stick to it.
3. Running economy between stations - how you carry yourself between efforts matters more than your pace. Relax your shoulders, control your breathing, arrive ready.
We've built THE URBAN RACE around this exact format. Half the distance. All the strategy. And we've seen what separates people who struggle through it from people who smash it - it's not fitness. It's these three things.
If you've done a full hybrid race before and want to know what a half format really tests you on, this is it.

Follow so you don't miss out!
That's what HALF the distance, TWICE the atmosphere unlocks.
Not just a race - the proof that you're more capable than you gave yourself credit for. 💪
