Spartan Race FREE ENTRY Giveaway & Discount Code

Nothing says badass like the Spartan Races.  The Spartan Races are a spectacular series of events which will bring out the beast in all of us whether you’re looking to invoke your inner toughie or prove once again that you are strong, fit & brave.

spartan_ultra beast 

The Spartan is an obstacle course race 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!  Put in your zip code on the race finder & a map with pop up with your recommended location.

The closest races to me are the Chicago Super & Sprint weekend on June 11th and the Indiana Sprint on July 9th.  Which race is in your backyard?  Look HERE.

Spartan Race FREE Entry Giveaway!

spartan_logo

As 2015 is coming to a close I think most of us are looking back at our year and trying to decide on a bit of direction for 2016.  Some of us may be tired of training.  Some of us may be looking for a new direction.  Others have just moved into beast mode.  How about you?  Where would you like to go in 2016?  Need a new challenge? How would YOU like to become a Spartan? 

Spartan_When Going Thru Hell

I have ONE free entry to give away to a Spartan Race of YOUR choice, anywhere within the continental US!!!   The Reebok Spartan Races have been around for years.  It is one of the few obstacle course races which offer events for the whole family:  kids, those just starting on their fitness journey, and those of you who are a bit more serious.  Something for everyone and that’s what I like about this race series!  More official info, from the Spartan Races website, below:

Spartan Race

World’s Best Obstacle Race. Period.

Born in the scenic hills of Vermont, Spartan Race was created to bring the excitement of obstacle racing to spectators and athletes alike. That means you.

Spartan Race is a true adventure that anyone can do, and everyone should try. With course lengths of 3+miles (Sprint), 8+miles, (Super) and 12+miles (Beast) each course is filled with mud, water, and signature obstacles designed to help you discover your inner Spartan. Athletes of all fitness levels will enjoy participating in a Spartan Race and the feeling of accomplishment that comes at the finish line.

Spartan_levels

Spartan Race even has events for kids. We believe that fitness and adventure should involve the whole family. Come out and watch your kids run, jump, and climb like children were meant to do all in their own Spartan Kids race.

For those that want a more team based experience Spartan Race has the Hurricane Heat and for the truly adventurous the Hurricane Heat 12 Hour. The Hurricane Heat takes you out of the individual role and has you work with a group of complete strangers to complete tasks designed to bring you together as a team.

So if you are starting to load your calendar for 2016, I recommend trying something different.  Something fun.  Something to force you to work on both strength & endurance.  Something that will move you beyond your comfort zone.  Something that will challenge you.

GIVEAWAY For ANY 2014 Spartan Race!

As more and more obstacle course races (OCRs) are popping up throughout the country there are certainly a few that have managed to stand out among the crowd and create an amazing reputation for themselves.  The Spartan Race is one such OCR which delivers an amazing experience each and every time, regardless of the location.

spartan logo

This race series was voted #1 Obstacle Race by Outside Magazine in 2012 and according to the website:

Spartan Race is on a mission to get you active, healthy, excited about change, and return to our ancient roots where running through woods, getting dirty, and facing adversity was part of everyday life. Our events are all about challenging today’s perception of normal.

Having experienced many different racing events, we wanted to make adventure racing more accessible to everyone, but do not be fooled by the word ‘accessible’, as our events have a challenge for everyone’s needs.
Spartan Race now introduces a level for everyone beginning with the entry level Spartan Sprint, intermediate level Super Spartan, the advanced Spartan Beast, and the ‘99.9% need not apply’ extreme level Death Race.

With venues in various locations throughout the US, the Spartan Race is becoming more popular each year.
