2023 Spartan Trifecta World Championship: Everything You Need to Know
The Spartan Trifecta World Championship returned to the world stage last year for the first time since 2019. This year, we're back again with an even bigger, bolder event weekend. Beginning with opening ceremonies, members of the Trifecta Tribe will return to Sparta, Greece, a city rooted in ancient Spartan history.
Among the mountains and ancient olive groves, four epic days of racing and unforgettable celebrations will unfold on Nov. 2-5, 2022, as athletes from across the globe attempt to earn their coveted Trifecta title — a Sprint, a Super, and a Beast — in the spiritual home of Spartan.
