The virtues and values of the U.S. Military and Spartan Race are similar, emphasizing courage, teamwork, community and a never-quit fortitude.

The Honor Series events are Spartan races, held at active military installations, where American civilians can express their support of our servicemen and servicewomen in a rare and powerful way: Experiencing the challenge and camaraderie of what it's like to be a part of our Armed Services.
