Think you’ve got what it takes to conquer the Spartan Race?

Spartans eat burpees (and mud) for breakfast.

For those that find running just a little too boring, we have the challenge for you – it’s the Spartan Race and it’s coming back to Melbourne on the 4th-5th of December 2021 and Bright from Feb 11-13 2022 (thank f*ck it’s finally here as lockdown had postponed it previously this like everything else in its path).

Spartan races happen all over the world and they offer 3 different core races, each escalating in distance, obstacle count and challenge level – we love the harder the better.

However we suggest you choose wisely – The Spartan Sprint (5K/20 obstacles), the Spartan Super (10K/ 25 obstacles) and Spartan Beast (in Bright with a Half Marathon/ 30 obstacles).

The Sprint is best for beginners and athletes of all levels. While its only 5km you’ll be hit with 20 obstacles from mud, fire and barbed wire. If you think you can’t do it, you’re wrong – give it a go!

Challenge yourself to complete all three races and become part of the TRIFECTA tribe. The best part though? The more races you complete, the more points you get and the bigger your medal gets!

The races will take place at Tooradin about 45 minutes from melbourne and you’re encouraged to bring along friends to share the pain (gain).

In fact, you get team discounts for dragging others along.

Are you a spartan? Gritty. Resilient. Passionate. Spartans aren’t soft. Spartans overcome obstacles. And yes, Spartans burpee.

See you at the finish line!
