Philosophically: the opportunity to show yourself that you're capable of more than you think, to use obstacles as fuel for growth, to gain an embodied understanding of the declaration for hope (I have an inspiring goal, agency, and pathways), and to demonstrate your being at your athlete best.. and we're all athletes, which literally means "a contestant competing for a prize," and can be applied to life as a whole and winning the prize of expressing the best, most Heroic versions of ourselves.
Technically: a Spartan Sprint is a 5k (3.1 mile) obstacle course race you can walk or run, with 20 obstacles, held on off-road terrain featuring water and mud. You’ll climb walls, crawl under wire, traverse monkey bars, aim a spear throw, and more.
It's AWESOME. And, we race together, as a team, which means your fellow Heroes will be alongside you and supporting you every step of the way.
Also check out the awesome Spartan Training 101 that Brian created and also the note on Joe De Sena's book Spartan Fit with everything you need to know on how to prepare for the race.
