Home of the 2014 Spartan World Championship, this course is brutal. Located in what is known as ‘Joe’s backyard’, this land is where the company was founded; that means anything goes. Steep slopes.

We’re looking for the baddest beasts of the east to come tear up the terrains where Spartan Race has its roots. Be forewarned though, the course is known to destroy the body, legs, mind and soul.

Competitors can choose to race in the Ultra Beast: 26+ miles, the Beast: 12+ miles or the 3.5+ mile Sprint. Additionally, young Spartans are invited to race the Spartan Kids Races.
