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.
Set at the breathtaking Dillingham Ranch—where the mountains meet the ocean—this course offers high-elevation climbs, coastal panoramas, and gritty terrain that tests every step. You'll battle through open fields, dense single-track trails, and steep ridgelines under the Hawaiian sun.
This iconic venue, featured in Lost, Pearl Harbor, and Hawaii Five-0, brings Hollywood-level drama to an already unforgettable challenge. Racing here isn’t just about finishing—it’s about earning your place on sacred ground.
