Spartan – various locations, various dates

If you’re looking to test your limits & get outside your comfort zone then the Spartan obstacle race series is for you. With a wide range of distances and intensities to choose from, there is something for all fitness levels.  But be warned – taking on a Spartan race for charity is no easy task – expect to take on obstacles including mud, fire, walls and barbed wire – this is as tough as they come!

With events across the country between May – October there are three main race types to choose from, just choose the right distance for you allowing for the fact you have to take on some difficult obstacles!

Spartan Sprint – 5km+, 20+ obstacles

A great starter distance, it is perfect for people of all levels; from Spartan first timers to seasoned racers. The 5km+ Sprint may be the shortest distance but it packs more than 20 Signature Spartan Obstacles including mud, fire, walls and barbed wire. If you think you can’t do it, you’re wrong. Get to the starting line and show yourself what you are capable of!

Spartan Super – 13km+, 25+ obstacles

This middle distance course is as demanding mentally as it is physically, spanning over 13km+ through rugged terrain which is just as unforgiving as the 25+ obstacles that litter the distance.  The Super will test your endurance, perseverance and grit.

Spartan Beast – 20km+, 30+ obstacles

This is the longest and most difficult race in the series and is aptly named for its brutal 20km+ circuit with more than 30 obstacles that try to keep you from your finish line.  The Beast is just plain hard – it won’t be easy but you can’t believe how good the medal feels at the finish line!

Think you can handle more? Prove it by joining the elite Spartan TRIFECTA Tribe by finishing one of each Spartan distance: Sprint, Super and Beast in 2019.  Now that really is a challenge where you’ll earn every penny of your fundraising!!
