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.

Get ready, Michigan. Just 20 minutes from Grand Rapids, Cannonsburg Ski Area offers the perfect mix of steep climbs, fast descents, and gritty sand pits across 11+ miles of rugged terrain. Choose your challengeβ€”Super, Sprint, or Kids Raceβ€”and put your training to the test. This is where you prove your grit.
