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.

Woodward Reservoir Regional Park offers over 3,700 acres of land and 2,900 acres of reservoir for recreation and camping. This is the perfect course to dance with your personal best times. Give this one your all and you'll know at the finish line.

πŸ˜„ Why We Like This Run
βœ… Epic scenery
βœ… The "Race-Cation" lifestyle
βœ… Sustainable strides

Why settle for a finisher’s medal and a banana in a parking lot when you could run amongst the red rock canyons of Zion National Park, through the majestic landscapes bordering Glacier National Park, or in the shadow of Rocky Mountain National Park?

Vacation Races aren't just about the miles; they’re about the memories. Curate world-class running experiences in the most breathtaking destinations in the U.S. Whether you’re a seasoned ultra-runner or a first-time 5Ker, "race day" will be the centerpiece of your next great adventure.
