Obstacles

Terrain
Varies by location depending on topography; the course will use any and all natural obstacles and elements to make a demanding and interesting course.
Hardest Obstacle
Spinners: A spinning, corkscrew "monkey bar" designed to really test upper body and grip strength. If you fail, 30 burpees are waiting for you.
Penalties
Failing or skipping any obstacle results in a penalty of 30 burpees.
Gear
Wear athletic gear that will allow movement in any direction as you will be climbing over and scurrying under obstacles, lifting and pulling heavy objects and running trails, through water, mud, and jumping over fire. Gloves may help with some rope-based obstacles, well-fitting athletic shoes should help minimize blisters.
Spartan events are timed competitions that are orchestrated over standardized distances and feature natural and man-made obstacles specifically designed to test mind-body fitness. Every race at every distance will have you climbing, lifting, crawling, rolling, carrying, running, swimming, balancing, throwing, and jumping. All Spartan courses are deliberately designed to leave you exhausted and exhilarated; the completion of any of our courses is an accomplishment that deserves to be recognized, and each finisher has truly earned their Spartan medal. Their motto is “You’ll Know at the Finish Line” is not just an empty marketing phrase, but a sentiment that is shared by all of our athletes who have been bonded through the collective challenge of completing one of the world’s best obstacle courses.
Every Spartan Race is a baptism. The Ultra Beast is considered an exorcism. The Ultra Beast will cover 42k / 70+ obstacle course with a few twists thrown in to make it interesting. There is no map or details for the course, don’t bother asking because we won’t tell you. As always if you’re not sure you are ready please only register for the Beast. The Ultra Beast will be too much for you. Please do NOT complete a registration if you are not comfortable with these terms.
