This event goes by the name of ATHCO and it is a hybrid one that is intended to examine the strength, stamina and speed of those taking part. This makes it similar to the likes of HYROX, but with the twist that it takes place outside.
The venue for it will be Bannister Outdoor Sports Track, which is in Harrow – just a few miles away from Edgware.
ATHCO is the brainchild of personal trainer Will Wells and features a mix of tests of strength and endurance running. Each of the eight runs lasts for 800 metres, and after each run the contestants will have to complete strongman-style tasks. These will include carrying, pushing, dragging, pressing and weightlifting challenges.
When people take part in local competitions, their friends and families sometimes like to support them with Banners. Edgware has banner printing outlets that can help with this.
Speaking to the Harrow Times, Wells said:
“It’s open to everyone, whether you’re competing solo or as a pair, and whether it’s your first event or your next big challenge.”
He is expecting it to attract a combination of people wishing to get fit and dedicated athletes.
