City Challenge Race is BACK for its 12th year in Jersey City — and this will be the only City Challenge event of the year. Since 2013, we’ve built the ultimate urban obstacle race: a fast 3-mile course packed with 20+ city-style obstacles that test your strength, grit, and endurance — no mud, just pure challenge. This year features brand new finisher medals, professional chip timing, and awards for top overall, plus FREE race photos and a high-energy waterfront atmosphere that makes race day unforgettable.
There’s no spring race. No second chance. If you want to run City Challenge in 2026, September 12th is it. Lock in the lowest price now before rates increase and spots fill.
