Events that combine strength, cardio, agility

    Hi Everyone,

    I wanted to check if anyone has suggestions for events that combine strength, cardio, agility. Almost an equivalent of a 5K/10k/ Half marathon for recreational lifters?

    It is something that has often crossed my mind.

    There seems to be tons of events available to runners - park runs, 5k races, half marathons etc at weekends. For the regular gym goer, who enjoys a mix of weights and various types of movement, there doesn't seem to be any organised events to aim for.

    The reason I ask is that for myself, I have become bored with following the bodybuilding/strength 12 week programs and am not overly concerned with training for appearance or pushing on to compete in a pure strength based competition. The main motivation for me training is to challenge myself as an all-rounder and stay healthy for the long-term.

    The closest thing I have seen is the crossfit games / Tough mudder stlye events in that they combine strength and cardio.
