Reebok Spartan Race! (It's a GIVEAWAY!)



So, The Husband and I are venturing into the world of mud running for the first time this weekend.  We are really excited to get muddy and try out some obstacles.  However, it's not the Spartan Race, and this thing looks AWESOME! What a better way to test your limits than the race that was rated the #1 obstacle race by Outdoor magazine??


This series looks TOUGH.  They have 4 different levels: The Spartan Sprint, Spartan Super, Spartan Beast, and the Spartan Death Race (Sounds intimidating, huh?).  It should, this is their description from their FAQ page.

"What's the difference between Spartan Sprint, Super, Beast, and Death Races?



There are some staples in our repertoire. There are also some venue specific and terrain inspired obstacles.
We will not, however, spell it out for you. As well, you will get no course map to inspect. There is fire, mud, water, barbed wire, and occasionally Hell on Earth.
There WILL be obstacles to catch you off guard. Curve balls, so to speak.
Get over it.
We’re here to rip you from your comfort zone. If you need a road map for each step of the way, then maybe this race isn’t for you." 
 Basically it boils down to:
Spartan SprintWhat is a Spartan Sprint? 3+ MILES / 15+ OBSTACLES
Super SpartanWhat is a Super Spartan? 8+ MILES / 20+ OBSTACLES
Spartan BeastWhat is The Spartan Beast? 12+ MILES / 25+ OBSTACLES
The Death RaceWhat the #$%! is The Death Race?

 Their mission is also one that I am on board with!

"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."

    1. Sprint would definitely be my first go-to also! Especially since I don't have any experience with obstacle runs yet!

  3. I would do the Sprint first, and work my way "up" to a Death Race!
