After many years of Spartan Race being able to choose blindly from the best in the sport, 2020 will most likely be the year we remember as athletes speaking out about pro team contracts.
You can catch up on the first several years of the pro team in this article.
2019 saw Spartan expand the program to over 200 athletes worldwide, this year, we were told it grew to 250. Joe Desena came on our podcast to discuss his feelings on the recent athlete transgressions.
The athletes we are aware of who were offered, but did NOT sign were Ryan Kempson, Veejay Jones, Ryan Woods, and Johnny Luna-Lima.
Nicole Mericle came on our show to discuss what Spartan could do to improve negotiations and Robert Killian was one of the most vocal athletes during this time period. Both ultimately signed, as did almost every athlete sent a contract. Some finalized their deals in Jacksonville, 2 days before the first USNS race of the year.
