Have you wanted to travel for a Spartan Race?
Obstacle Racing Media and Spartan Race are offering you a chance to travel the world, run an international Spartan, and help ORM document it along the way.
Several Spartan racers (1 per trip) will be picked to visit 4 races outside the United States in 2017.
Final dates to be determined, so you must become available for the race you win when chosen. The final 2017 international calendar is being put together as we speak, but as of right now, some of the options we are looking into are:
Europe – How does a French Alps Trifecta Weekend look to you?
Cuba – If Spartan pulls the trigger on this one, you’ll have a chance to experience an amazing Cuban island experience.
Asia – The Agoge just went down there in China. Now you can go yourself.
South America – Spartan will be back in Brazil in 2017. Would you like to be there?
There are additional options we can’t even mention as they are not locked in as of the time of this writing!
