The Spartans are Coming!
The 2016 Spartan World Championship Weekend is happening here in North Lake Tahoe, October 1-2 at our renowned Squaw Valley Resort. This exciting event includes four obstacle course races ranging from 3 miles to marathon distances. Created in 2010, the Spartan Races have participants run, crawl, jump and swim their way to completion. There is the Beast, Ultra Beast, Sprint, and Kids Race (for ages 4-13).
The Beast covers 12+ miles with over 30 obstacles, with the fastest finish time of 3 hours. Running the Ultra Beast ups the challenges with 26+ miles, over 50 obstacles, and takes over 7 hours to complete. The Ultra Beast has time challenges that participants must meet to complete the distance.
If you’re a first-timer Spartan, the Sprint is your best introduction which is 3-5 miles of distance with 20+ obstacles. Expect a lot of fun that includes mud, helping others, and a rewarding time!
