2020 Stadion Series: What to Know, Where to Race, and More
Spartan has announced the schedule for the 2020 Stadion Series, consisting of five events at some of America’s most beloved ballparks and stadiums for more than $47,000 in prize money.
Spartan Stadion events turn the traditional grounds of the country’s coveted ballparks and stadiums into 5K obstacle race courses. They are fast and furious, and blend the existing attributes of the facilities with 20 of the brand’s signature obstacles. The test of strength and agility will see competitors climb steep stairs, race down narrow concourses with sharp turns, and face tall walls, rope climbs, monkey bars, and more.
