What is Spartan?

The Spartan Race is a series of obstacle races of varying distance and difficulty ranging from two miles to marathon distances. As a classic obstacle course racing experience, the race combines relatively easy trail running with 20 obstacles, held on off-road terrain featuring water and mud. Climb walls, crawl under wire, traverse monkey bars, aim a spear throw, and more!
