Super Distance: 8 - 10 Miles with up to 29 Spartan Obstacles
Its not The Beast, but it is still beastly. This Super distance Spartan race will knock you down and drag you through the cold wet mud before you have a chance to shout "Sparta". The second race in the Spartan Trifecta, this will leave you with no choice but to tackle The Beast.
Sprint Distance: 3 Miles with up to 23 Spartan Obstacles
Do not mistake "Sprint" for "easy", this race might be shorter than the others but it'll test you just the same. The perfect entrance for Spartan beginners, but by the 23rd obstacle will have you wishing you had signed up for the Super. This will give you the first piece of the Spartan Trifecta, proof that you are made of steel.
Hurricane Heat: A Team Event like no other
There is nothing quite like this team-based event. No chip. No times. Just teamwork. This event is all about getting your whole team across the finish line, leaving nobody behind. Taking place on the Friday evening, this gives participants a chance to experience the classic Spartan obstacles without the pressure of race-day.
