From mud runs to color runs to races where you have to jump over fire, adventure and other off-beat races seem to be taking over these days. I've never run one, but I have been intrigued. These races seem like they would be fun -- something different to do to put the fun in the run.
Someday I'll get on that.
In the meantime, I've got a giveaway so one lucky reader can experience a little racing adventure of their own.
Have you heard of the Men's Health Urbanathlon?
It is a 3-city event series comprised of 9.5 to 11 mile endurance races. They incorporate city landmarks and urban obstacle courses set on the streets of Chicago, New York and San Francisco. This fall's race dates are:
Chicago: October 13th
New York: October 27th
San Francisco: November 18th
Take a peek at this recap from last year's race series:

Awesome giveaway! I'd love to be entered for Chicago!
Awesome! I would totally love to be in the NYC race. I've done the Tough Mudder at Mount Snow, and currently signed up for the Spartan Beast race at Killington VT. An "Urbanathlon is obviously the next obstacle to conquer!
I follow you on my Google Reader :)
I would love to win and I would do the one in Chicago!
I would like to give it a try! I am wanting to get on with my goal of losing weight for the longest time. It is an uphill struggle sure but I am not going to give up trying. I will try making it on one of those events. Thanks for sharing.
I would choose the race in NYC. I have been trying to get fit and lose weight since I work in technology and tend to have a sedentary lifestyle. The pounds are starting to pack on.
I wanna play!!! I'm scared $hit coz I have zero upper body strength!! San Francisco!!
