More of a community than a track or road race, more fun than a trail race, supports you in being a more well rounded athlete, takes you to some beautiful sights to see, and the course is never exactly the same. It really is a nice package overall!
I agree with all the great points and I like Spartan. The thing we mix up is the health of Spartan and the health of OCR in the US. I think OCR in the US is too monolithic. I work hard to find Savage races, Tough Mudders, Bonefrog, OCR WC, and Midwest OCR events because after a few Spartan races I get bored. If we take a broader view, European OCR is rapidly growing and has tremendous variety and innovation, maybe in part because they aren’t dominated by one company.
Thanks now I want a quesadilla burger from Applebees. Been saying it for years , Spartan is the most affordable way to race the most! May not be exactly what you want but it’s fun and the community is great!
I agree. Spartan may not be a flashy new object anymore, but it's fun, reliable and they know how to put on an event for the average racer. I'll keep attending every year for just those things.
Chilis is king! J/k - in 2000 they were 😅. I thought Spartan placed the obstacles very well, where the harder ones were on the longer courses. And the timing was on point!
