I’m excited to be able to share this with all you CANADIAN peeps! I’ve never participated in a Spartan Race but have seen lots of pictures and heard lots of great stories about them!
What is a Spartan Race?
“Spartan Race is the world’s toughest obstacle course race {started in 2010}, with over 30,000 competitors in Western Canada alone taking the challenge each year”.
They have:
- Races all over the globe
- Different distances with different levels
- A unique culture and community of athletes striving together to overcome any and everything.
There are three course offered:
- A Spartan Sprint: at least 5k plus 15 obstacles
- A Super Spartan: at least 13 km and 20 obstacles
- The Spartan Beast: 20km and 25 obstacles
{Taken from their website}
A Spartan Sprint would totally be enough for me, I couldn’t image doing any more! Though I am currently injured, I think this would be lots of fun to be at. Could you image Volunteering at this event, watching everyone do these challenges up/down a ski hill? I’ve done something similar back in 2013 and it was a blast and SUPER challenging. Good luck to all those participating this year!

I would do the sprint. It would be my first obstacle race so I’ll start easy.
