Women’s Health, the women's lifestyle magazine published by Rodale Inc., announced that its second annual "Are You Game?" event is returning to New York City this summer and expanding to Chicago. Building on the success of last year’s event, which was attended by more than 10,000 people, the outdoor festival will take place in New York City on July 12 at Hudson River Park’s Pier 46 and on July 19 in Chicago at North Avenue Beach.
Both events will be open to the public at no cost, and will offer an array of fun, challenges and activities, such as rock climbing, mechanical bull riding, beauty and spa treatments, workout classes, fashion shows, live music and more.
In concert with the Are You Game theme, event sponsors will host specific games, incorporate product displays and giveaways, and leverage on-site visibility with interactive areas for the thousands of visitors expected to attend this year’s events.
“Last year’s Are You Game festival exceeded our expectations and we are thrilled to bring the event back to New York City and expand it to Chicago this year,” said Mary Murcko, VP/Publisher of Women’s Health. “Are You Game is the perfect way to bring the pages of the magazine to life for our readers and for our partners to reach and interact with an audience of young, active, thrill-seeking and fun women.”
