In honor of the NBC airing of the 2016 Reebok Spartan Race World Championships on Christmas Day at 5pm EST, we are giving away ONE open heat entry to a US Spartan Race of your choice!
The 2017 Spartan Races will feature NEW season passes. New medals. New locations.
Even with all the NEW stuff that Spartan is offering, they will still deliver the same great experience that will leave you walking away feeling like you REALLY accomplished something. Who knows, you may even feel like a badass. 
In case you’re new to the scene, a Spartan Race is an obstacle course race (OCR) that combines running & strength work to tackle obstacles in route. Depending on what distance you choose, the event can be as short as 3+ miles or as long as 12+. Lots of options, info on the various race distances from the Spartan website below:
There are three main types of Spartan Races.
For beginners we recommend the Sprint. Spartan’s shortest courses are 3+ miles and 20+ obstacles. Complete the race at your own pace. If you fail an obstacle along the way, you owe us 30 burpees before continuing on.
Ready for more? The Super is 8+ miles, 24+ obstacles, and often hosted on a tougher terrain.
The hardest of the three races is the Beast: 12+ miles and 30+ obstacles. We’ll leave the challenges of the course to your imagination.
For those who dare: check out our Ultra Beast, Hurricane Heat, Hurricane Heat 12 Hour and Agoge endurance races.
They also offer kids races and various events across the country. No matter where you live, there is most likely a Spartan Race near you!

Never done a Spartan. I did try a mini triathlon. Hardest thing I have ever done is a Marathon.
The sisu iron a 30 hour adventure rave in California
My first attempt at a full distance tri. Although I didn’t make it, I got back out there and did s half 2 weeks later. goal for this year is a Spartan Trifecta (in addition to a few more tri’s) and plan to earn the final medal in my childhood backyard. Arooo!
The Mohican Endurance Festival (70.3 at Mohican State Park). The weather was brutal — hot and humid.
My hardest endurance runs were my first trail 50k on very technical, HARD trails in Oct. and my first 50 miler on a much flatter, easier trail last month! 🙂 I have done one Tough Mudder in the past and would love to try a Spartan!
Well crazy enough I just completed the worlds toughest mudder this past November. Made t my goal of 24 hrs and 50 miles. That was definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever attempted.
I did Spartan Saraland, AL last yr…def the hardest but want to do it again!
I have done the Muddy Buddy several times and the Warrior Dash once. To be honest … Neither were super difficult. Would love to try something more challenging and have been tempted to try a Spartan!
Super Spartan is my hardest race yet!
The hardest endurance type event I’ve ever done was World’s Toughest Mudder, a 24 hour endurance event.
The hardest endurance type event I’ve ever been a part of is World’s Toughest Mudder, a 24 hour event.
The hardest endurance race I have done was my first Spartan Sprint. I would love to get out there and do another Sprint or even a Super!
Hardest spartan for me was Dallas Beast this year . . . another tough endurance race was a 50 mile race (wasn’t trained for it, just went out to pace friend through 15 miles and decided, what the hell, I just do the whole thing
I’ve done the SISU Iron 30 hour endurance event in California. It actually turned out to be 40 hours. No sleep. Lonely midnight mountain hikes. Poison Ivy. Log carries. Trail running. Tons of PT. And some dancing.
My toughest race was a Spartan. The sprint ended up being 5 miles, 20 obstacles in fresh mud and 45 degree weather in October. Brr!
Never done a Spartan race but would like to give it a try. Hardest thing I have ever done was a Marathon.
My only tri to date, a half Ironman. Hilly hilly hilly bike ride, but I’ve never been prouder of myself!
Man they look crazy!
