Men's Fitness Ultimate Athlete June 20, 2009

Men’s Fitness is bringing its “Ultimate Athlete” event to Chicago’s Lakefront this summer. The competitive athletic skills challenge is free and open to the public and will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2009, from 11 AM – 5 PM CT on North Ave. Beach.

Participants will compete in a series of seven timed sporting competitions as they vie for their chance to be crowned the “Ultimate Athlete.” The winner will take home bragging rights, $2,500 plus a trip for two to Beaches Resorts and a one-year membership to Chicago Equinox with a six-pack of physical training or Pilates sessions.

Ultimate Athlete competitors will be judged on their top five scores (lowest scores will be dropped), earning points based on timing, accuracy and extra bonus points achieved through hitting targets. Competitions include: Tennis (fastest serve), Football (quarterback challenge), Football (combine – shuttle run, bench press, broad jump), Basketball (shoot out), Baseball (fastest pitch and home run derby) and the ULTIMATE obstacle course.

In addition to the competition, there will be an appearance by WWE® Superstar CM Punk™, sponsor giveaways, and fun pick-up games of beach volleyball and “bags”. Corona Light will also host a sports bar from 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM where beers will be sold two for $5 with all proceeds going to the After-School All-Stars National Charity.
