Great camaraderie by other Spartans. Don’t be afraid to do this alone because a fellow Spartan is never too far to give you a boost. Most of the obstacles were very doable. There were only two that I’d say were near impossible.
No one watches to see if you fill your bucket all the way up with rocks, do all 30 burpees for each failed obstacle, etc.
Obstacles:
Wall climbs (decent amount)
Hurl climb
Atlas carry
Sandbag carry
Bucket brigade
Over, under, through
Barbed wire crawl
Traverse
Cargo net
No foothole wall scaling (hold onto chain and move horizontally on A wall)
Tire flip
Monkey bars
Rigs
Spear throw
Weight drag
Hercules hoist
Mud (into 4 pits, then under a wall)
Slippery wall
Rope climb
Fire jump
fun & as challenging as you make it

This course had hills and awesome elements( rain, wind, hail) which added to the experience greatly. I had done three Spartans previously but this one felt like a true gritty mud run. Having my best friend and girl friend there made it the ultimate for me. Also, finally got to do the fire jump. For one reason or another each spartan had not had fire at the end. One thing that sucked was lack of photographers because of the weather. Even the post race photo tent had closed up and left. The weather was crazy bad but that made it great.
Perfect for first the timer & scared

Prior to this, I had only run the BEAST version of the Spartan races and those are great if you’re up for the challenge. Everything about these races are great from the volunteers, the other participants and the production. Just a great time. I talked my sister into running this one as a first timer and while the weather didn’t help, she loved it and is already talking about doing it again. FYI, I was slow because I stayed with my sis.. Still had a blast
