Race Information

The Spartan Race is a series of obstacle course races designed to test endurance, strength, and agility. Participants can choose from different race types, including Sprint, Super, and Beast, each with varying levels of difficulty and distance. The races feature obstacles like walls, ropes, mud pits, and natural terrains like hills and streams. The events are open to all fitness levels, from beginners to elite athletes. The Spartan Race was created by Joe De Sena, a former Wall Street trader, to inspire people to push themselves to their limits and live more active, fulfilling lives.

Take on the rugged beauty of Mount Ogden, a former 2002 Winter Olympics venue known for its technical terrain and stunning alpine views. This epic location sets the stage for a full Trifecta Weekend—where you'll push through grueling obstacles, power up a 3,000-foot vertical climb, and earn your medals one brutal race at a time. After the finish line, reward yourself with a scenic gondola ride and world-class dining in a setting that’s just as unforgettable as the course.

This weekend also features Spartan Trail Race.
