On October 26, Men's Health hosted its largest-ever Urbanathlon in New York City. Some 3,500 athletes tackled the event's urban obstacle course, which made clever use of some aspects of city living. The 10-mile course included relatively traditional challenges, such as sprinting up stairs and climbing over an eight-foot wall; but, it also asked participants to hurdle yellow taxicabs and buses. The event also included DJs, snacks and drinks, and swag from sponsors including Hugo Boss, Tissot, and Gillette.
