Men’s Health ‘Survival of the Fittest’ comes to Manchester

It’s an epic event which brings the fittest of Brits together in cities across the UK to test their stamina, speed, grit and guts to the fullest. Now, Mancunians ready for the fitness challenge of the year can sign up for The Men’s Health Survival of the Fittest event, presented by Rat Race Adventure Sports, when it arrives for the first time in Manchester this November.

Designed with one mission in mind; to push runners to their absolute limits, the Men’s Health Survival of the Fittest event is possibly the UK’s toughest obstacle course; packing a challenging 10km route in each host city. With tough and engaging obstacle zones every kilometre, the course pits entrants’ wits against 1000s of fellow “Survival” competitors from all walks of life taking part in a race that is open to anyone and everyone.The Manchester event will be held at the world-famous, Ethiad Stadium and iconic Sport City on 3rd November 2012.

The Rat Race challenged North West businesses to pit their fittest against one another to see who really does have the toughest employees in the city in a one-off taster event held on Hardman Square, Spinningfields today (17th July) that tested the resolve of participants in a number of specially created obstacles and challenges for a chance to win entry to the 3rd November event - and exclusive prizes from Rat Race.

Jim Mee, Managing Director of Rat Race Adventure Sports and the man behind the event says: “Manchester is famed for its sporting credentials and prides itself on its innovation. Survival packs lashings of both as we turn the traditional 10k on its head and delve into the best the city has to offer to create a tough, engaging and totally rewarding 10k urban assault course. Our taster event provided Mancunians with a good idea of what to expect from the event itself at the same time as providing some healthy rivalry for local firms. Now we’re hoping the North West will step forward to show us what they are really made of and get involved in November!”
