It's in June at the Glen Haffey conservation area
from the website

Why Spartan? Because the Spartans were tough as nails. Why Race? Because we all thrive under pressure, survival of the fittest. Our goal is simple....to get you off your couch, throw you in the mud, and feed you one crazy day that will be the adrenalin rush of your life.


The race is designed to test your resilience, strength, stamina, and ability to laugh in the face of adversity. Our unique obstacle course will demand every ounce of your strength, ingenuity, and animal instinct you thought you lost 3 generations ago.


You will understand at the finish line.....

I think it's gonna be sick. Any NS'ers in Toronto wanting to do this?

looks more fun than hard....like idc what walls u gotta climb or soft ropes to balance on....5k is not intense, looks more like a good time than some super hardcore challenge, but im kinda a jock so im a little biased

5k isn't bad, especially because you're not actually running for most of it.
