On June 23, Paul put up a massive amount of $100,000 cash to anyone who could beat him in a race, calling himself “the fastest YouTuber” in a Tweet that brought out a slew of competitors.

While many top content creators and even Hollywood actors put their reputations on the line in hopes of beating Paul, no official announcement for his “race” was mentioned: that is, until June 28, when he uploaded a video that revealed a full-fledged event for the challenge.

Paul’s event, dubbed “The Challenger Games,” is set to throw down on July 27, at the Veterans’ Memorial Stadium in Long Beach, California.

The Challenger Games will include standard track and field fare, including such events as the 4×100 meter relay, Long Jump, Shot Put, 100 meter hurdles, and even a tug of war competition, with cash prizes for each event that will be donated to the winners’ charity of choice.

    “I don’t care where in the world you live, competitor or fan, I wanna see you here July 27,” he challenged. “That includes you, KSI. I wanna race your bitch ass. And I’m gonna beat you. We made internet history with the biggest event in the world, and I wanna do it a second time.”
