Hoboken Hosts Urban Obstacle Race

City Challenge, a race that challenges runners with more than a dozen physical obstacles throughout the four-mile course, is coming to Hoboken this Saturday.

Participants will scale walls, climb robes, carry rocks and slam medicine balls along the way, in what race organizers have billed as "the perfect balance between fun and physicality."

Runners start in waves from Pier A Park every half hour beginning at 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. to avoid backups on the course. The entry fee is $85 and proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Breast Cancer Foundation.
