"Twenty years ago, the idea for Spartan was born and 10 years later, in 2010, our first-ever race was held in Vermont," said Spartan founder and CEO Joe De Sena. "I never imagined we’d be where we are today both in size — and the current state of the world — and we’re here to show the world the resilience of Spartans by hosting the largest virtual race in history.”

The Obstacles and Prizes
The event has been carefully designed to allow for indoor or outdoor completion. Spartan is providing alternatives for those who cannot run outside, including the use of indoor cardio equipment — such as stationary bikes and rowing machines — and exercises such as bear crawls, jump roping, and stair climbs. The obstacles are made up of a series of bodyweight and aerobic exercises. such as push-ups, mountain climbers, and more. All participants earn a free global leaderboard spot and a virtual medal, and can upgrade to a race bundle and get an exclusive T-shirt, a physical Trifecta wedge, and other prizes.
