By Athena
A collective of functional fitness races
By Athena is a collective of functional fitness races, forged by our founding team’s inspiration to make a real difference for people’s mental wellbeing through the sport. Athena, the Ancient Greek patron of wisdom and warfare, serves as an inspiration for us as we strive to introduce a supportive structure within the fitness space, which often strays from modern perceptions of physical activity.
​
Wisdom: By Athena has been founded on the foundation that mental health is an urgent issue that we can begin to address through positive outlets such as functional fitness. Mental health is a complex topic with multiple factors impacting our lives. Races By Athena aim to offer an outlet to practice resilience in a supportive structure, giving people the opportunity to seize an achievement they are able to own to become a true Athlete of Athena.
​
Warfare: Race day is the ultimate challenge by fire for those who have trained hard and dedicated their minds to the achievement of finishing. That’s why each race we offer is a true battle of strength, endurance and mental will. ​​​​
​​​Our Mission
To empower individuals through functional fitness and shared experience; building a community where people challenge their limits, support their mental health, and raise each other up in the pursuit of something real.
Every drop of sweat becomes a symbol of solidarity. Every rep is a reminder that you’re not alone. And when you cross the line, it’s not just about time; it’s about transformation.
​
This isn’t just a fitness event.
It’s a movement.
It’s a mindset.
It’s By Athena.
​
It’s a #ST8OFMIND.
