We are excited to announce that Sydney, like in the 2024/25 season, will be the first destination on the global city tour for Fittest in the City season 2. This season we will take the FITC competition to more than 12 cities around the globe and some 15,000 athletes so you can go up against teams from even more countries from across the world. And at the end - we will crown the World Champions in each division.
Not only for the first weekend of the new season will we have Sydney, but going head to head, 11 hours later, will be the city of Glasgow. Sydney teams will set the standard and the leader board, Glasgow teams will see what they've got and challenge for the top spots later that day.
