At the Finish Line: An Inside Look Into 2025 Spartan Race Awards
It’s no secret – we know Spartans love their hardware. That’s why we pulled out all the stops for 2025, the Year of the Boar. Because you leave every ounce of sweat (and tears and sometimes blood) on the course, we wanted our medals to reflect your tenacity.
Embracing this year's theme, Unleash Your Beast, our medal designs take an old-school approach – bold, solid, and tough. These medals represent the rugged challenges you've overcome on the course, while the cracks and worn textures reveal inner strength.

The 2025 Spartan Race Awards
Earn Your Spartan Badge with a Stadion, Sprint, Super, or Beast
The core race medals feature a unique interior color corresponding to the distance you accomplished, telling the world that you’ve conquered one of the toughest races on Earth.
- Stadion (5K, 20 Obstacles): This short but intense race transforms historic arenas into obstacle battlegrounds. Finishers earn a bright yellow medal that embodies the speed and agility required to conquer this test.
- Sprint (5K, 20 Obstacles): The original Spartan race, the Sprint, rewards its finishers with a bold red medal, representing your first step into the world of obstacle racing.
- Super (10K, 25 Obstacles): The Super dials up the challenge with double the distance and tougher challenges. Its blue medal symbolizes the endurance needed to overcome this demanding course.
-
Beast (21K, 30 Obstacles): The Beast is the ultimate test of both mind and body. Those who complete this half marathon earn a prestigious green medal, our signature color proving perseverance and grit.
Go Beyond the Basics and Earn a Specialty Medal
For the Spartans looking to add to their collection, there’s a reward for every athlete who goes the extra mile.
- Ultra Belt Buckle: The Ultra is the ultimate Spartan race, spanning 50 kilometers with 60 obstacles. Those who finish the Ultra receive a unique belt buckle medal – a Spartan tradition that sets Ultra finishers apart. Wear it proudly because it shows you’ve gone farther than most would even dream.
- Age Group Podium Medals: Spartans who place on the podium in their age group earn a special medal reflecting their rank – first, second, or third.
- Trifecta Weekend Medal: Completing a Trifecta weekend – finishing a Sprint, Super, and Beast (or Ultra!) in a single weekend – will earn you the legendary Trifecta Weekend medal. This coveted medal is a massive achievement, and shows you’ve joined the ranks of some of the toughest Spartans.
- Multiple Trifectas – Collect More Than One: Achieving the Trifecta once is already a monumental task, but completing two or more Trifectas in a single year adds extra prestige. Each additional Trifecta you complete in 2025 earns you an additional medal, showing your grit as a Trifecta chaser.
- National Series Medals: Racers who participate in Spartan's National Series events earn exclusive medals only available at these prestigious races. It’s a way of marking your participation in the top-tier competitions and showcasing your commitment to the Spartan challenge.
-
Honor Series Medals: We also have exclusive medals for those who race in the Honor Series, designed to distinguish these races as tributes to military personnel and first responders.
Put the Puzzle Pieces Together: Build Your Trifecta Medal
Every Spartan race you complete gives you more than just the standard finisher’s medal. You’ll also earn a wedge – a piece of a medal corresponding with the distance – that fits together with other wedges to form a complete Trifecta medal. Earn your three wedges by completing the Sprint, Super, and Beast, and you'll create one of the most sought-after symbols in obstacle course racing: the full Trifecta.
Celebrate Your Achievement with Our Finisher T-Shirts
Every Spartan who crosses the finish line receives more than just a medal – they also earn a specially designed finisher T-shirt. Each shirt utilizes the same colors as the medals to showcase the distance you achieved, a wearable testament to your strength and endurance on the course.
Show Your Spartan Commitment with Exclusive Merch
Owning a Spartan Pass isn't just about getting access to incredible events – it's about gearing up in style, too. Special rewards await those who commit to multiple races with exclusive gear:
