This year, the brand will host events in Los Angeles, San Diego, New York, Austin, London, and Manchester.

For each gym that hosts the workout, the top male and female winners and a nominated “MVP” member from each gym will win a pair of the brand’s industry renowned R.A.D® training shoes.

Adam Klink, Director of Community & Partnerships commented: “The reception we received for Acid Athletics last year was insane and we can’t wait to see it roll out even bigger this year. We exist to serve the training community and the incredible network of gyms and coaches they are a part of so it’s really exciting for us to be able to provide this for them.”
