I’ve never heard of a Spartan Race before.
It’s the worlds leading obstacle race series. But what type of obstacles?
Quoted from their website:
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.
It sounds pretty terrifying, right?
The races come in 3 distances.
The different distances are:
- A Spartan Sprint: 5+ KM / 15+ OBSTACLES
- A Super Spartan: 13+ KM / 20+ OBSTACLES
- The Spartan Beast: 20+ KM / 25+ OBSTACLES
You you complete all 3 distances within one calendar year, it’s known as a Trifecta and you’ll get a metal for completed your Trifecta.

Wow, this sounds amazing. I didn’t chose a race, but I should pretty soon, as I have to train. I want to try a 10k, my first one.
my next race is Manchester 10k on 10th May
oops meant to say May the 10th
I ran Fenway Park last year and hope to again this year too.
I ran the half marathon in greenwich!
After watching my brother in Law run the London Marathon I’m feeling inspired. Day 2 of giving up smoking! Started running again. Fingers crossed I get a place next year. These Spartan races look great training! 😉
Hackney Half Marathon on 10th May!
