Translation
[Meaning] an object of competition, the honour, the recompense, the winning of the contest. Also [sc. attested is] a)=qlos , masculine, [meaning] both the deed and the object of competition and the reward. This differs from the neuter [in] that while the neuter properly indicates the prize, this [masculine indicates] the contest.
Greek original
Ἆθλον· ἀγώνισμα, ἡ τιμὴ, ὁ μισθὸς, τὸ τοῦ ἀγῶνος βραβεῖον. καὶ Ἆθλος ἀρσενικῶς, τὸ ἔργον καὶ τὸ ἀγώνισμα καὶ τὸ ἔπαθλον. διαφέρει δὲ τοῦτο τοῦ οὐδετέρου, ὅτι τὸ μὲν οὐδέτερον δηλοῖ κυρίως τὸ ἔπαθλον, τοῦτο δὲ τὸν ἀγῶνα.

Notes
- Same material in other lexica (references at Photius alpha476 and alpha477 Theodoridis), and cf. also the scholia to Thucydides 1.6.5 (where the neuter plural occurs: web address 1).
