If you held a distance running race at a military boot camp during the filming of an episode of Wipe Out, you'd have the Reebok Spartan Race. The Spartan Race is a series of races held all over the country that Outdoor Magazine calls "the #1 obstacle race" series in the country. If you need to get pumped up to run, jump over barriers, climb through rope thingys and get really muddy, check out all their high adrenaline videos. There are three levels of Spartan races held at various locations throughout the country.. There's the Spartan Sprint, a 3+ mile race with at least 15 obstacles, the Super Spartan consisting of 8+ miles through at least 20 obstacles, and the Spartan Beast race consisting of 12+ miles through no less than 25 obstacles.
And if that isn't enough, there's also the Spartan Death Race being held this June 21st in Pittsfield, VA, which they cheerfully claim as making "giving birth look like a walk in the park." I don't even want to know what's involved in that one.
The Spartan Race Series comes to Northern California this August 10th with a Spartan Beast race in Monterey.
