Course Description

Spartan Stadium Sprint is a 5k of challenges – right in a major sports league stadium! These are the shortest, fastest Spartan Race and they are a can-do for athletes of all fitness levels. While Sprints can be considered the only “beginner-friendly” Spartan event, they absolutely offer challenges for all athletes with obstacles like cargo nets, rope climb, walls of all shapes & sizes, mud, barbed wire, and of course, the fire jump at the end!

Distance

3.1 mile course with 20+ obstacles, in a major league sports stadium
Experienced athletes should complete the course in less an hour, while first-timers may be closer to two hours from start to finish line.

What to Wear:

Performance gear that’s sweat-wicking and doesn’t hold water, avoid cotton or any materials that will soak with water and get heavy or loose.

Your shoes should have some decent of tread to grip the terrain, especially in dirt and mud. Don’t fall into the trap of wearing old, worn-out shoes with no grip at all, you need traction in all outdoor conditions so you don’t slip and fall or get stuck. We recommend a good trail shoe with aggressive tread. Metal cleats are not allowed at all, and (soccer, basketball, football) cleats in general are not recommended, as the cleats are too hard and stiff to give you traction on obstacles.
