Spartan Obstacle Race

After the success of the Rough Runner, we now have the spartan race.

Spartan has offered us free race passes in exchange for volunteering for 1 shift at their event. We can volunteer and then race on the same day.

This is a weekend event for the "Beast" which is on Saturday and the "Super and Sprint" which is on Sunday.

Goodgym are allowed to camp for free on their camping site if you wish to race the next day. The other option to volunteers is to do the early shift and then race in the afternoon straight after your shift.

The Free Race Pass

The pass can be used on the same day, next day or other future dates. They can only be used on the open heat races which are as follows:

• The Spartan Sprint is 5km+ loaded with 20+ obstacles. A great starter distance for beginners.

• The Spartan Super is a course spanning over 13km+ with 25+ obstacles that litter the distance.

• The Spartan Beast is just plain hard. This is their longest and most difficult race out of the three main race types and is aptly named for its brutal 20km+ circuit with more than 30 obstacles that try to keep you from your finish line.

Runners will receive a medal, t-shirt and beer.
