Founded in 2010 by CEO Joe De Sena, Spartan is the world’s largest obstacle race and endurance brand. Beyond engaging more than 7 million participants in the more than 300 race events, the Spartan lifestyle spans more than 45 countries and encompasses a global championship series, training and nutrition programs, health and wellness products and a range of media entities.
Spartan’s militaristic-style obstacle races have seen more than 7 million participants jump through fire and over the finish line after pushing their bodies and minds to limit across miles of unforgiving terrain while conquering signature obstacles such as the spear throw, bucket brigade and barbed wire crawl. Race events include three distances: the 5K 20 obstacle “Sprint;” 10K, 25 obstacle “Super;” and 21K , 30 obstacle “Beast,” which, when completed in one race season earns competitors the coveted “Trifecta” medal. All races are timed and feature Elite, Competitive and Open heats, along with Spartan Kids races designed to challenge youth ages four to 14 with special obstacles and trails. The Spartan Championship Series features global rankings which culminate into the Spartan World Championship, where the sport’s best male and female athletes collide in Abu Dhabi.
Spartan Endurance, created to bring participants to their breaking points and build them back up again include the 26.2-mile (or greater), 60 obstacle Ultra Beast; four and 12-hour Hurricane Heats, and 60 to 70-hour Agoge, which is based on the rite of passage ancient Spartan boys faced at the age of 7.
