To my fellow Spartans, Partners, and Friends, The Spartan prayer reminds us: We are thankful for the struggle. As we gather around tables today, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who has stood shoulder to shoulder with Spartan through the ups and downs. Together, we’ve faced uncertainties, rebuilt what was broken, and pushed through challenges that could have taken us out. So, this Thanksgiving (or wherever you are in the world), let’s give thanks—not just for the victories, but for the battles that shaped us. We are stronger together. I am grateful for every drop of sweat, every late night, every challenge, and most of all—for you. Here’s to those who keep showing up, keep believing, and keep fighting. The best is yet to come. Joe

About us
Spartan is for those willing to mentally and physically push to achieve your personal best. It’s a sport, mindset, community and way of life. Above all, it’s a catalyst for transformation, pushing you beyond what you thought was possible. Founded in 2010 by CEO Joe DeSena, Spartan is the world’s largest obstacle race and endurance brand, with more than 200 global events annually. The Spartan lifestyle spans more than 40 countries and encompasses a global championship series, training and nutrition programs, health and wellness products and a range of media entities. Spartan’s obstacle races have seen more than 5 million participants jump through fire and over the finish line after pushing their bodies and minds to limit across miles of unforgiving terrain while conquering signature obstacles such as the spear throw, bucket brigade and barbed wire crawl. Race events include three distances: the three to five-mile, 20-23 obstacle “Sprint;” eight to 10-mile, 24 to 29 obstacle “Super;” and 12 to 14-mile, 30 to 35 obstacle “Beast,” which, when completed in one race season earns competitors the coveted “Trifecta” medal. All races are timed and feature Elite, Age-Group, and Open heats, along with Spartan Kids races designed to challenge youth ages four to 14 with special obstacles and trails. The Spartan Championship Series features global rankings which culminate into the Spartan Race World Championship, where the sport’s best male and female athletes collide in Lake Tahoe, CA September 30 through October 1. Spartan Endurance, created to bring participants to their breaking points and build them back up again include the 26.2-mile (or greater), 60 to 70 obstacle Ultra; four and 12-hour Hurricane Heats, and 60 to 70-hour Agoge.

I often get asked "how do you keep it all together...how do you lead a global team, spend half the year on an airplane, manage family, and still have the energy to push forward?" This is a question that resonates with everyone—from busy parents to entrepreneurs to hardworking people everywhere. Here’s my answer: Keep your standards tight. 1. Eat clean. 2. Work out. 3. Do your cold plunges and saunas. 4. Remember your “why” (hearing the transformation stories help me here). Those things will keep you grounded no matter where in the world you are. But there’s one other key reminder… 5. DIVE IN! Learn to embrace the chaos. It's impossible to do everything perfectly. Give yourself grace and know you're doing your best and naturally something has got to give. Click below to read more.

Do you have what it takes? The Spartan Trifecta – which consists of a Sprint, Super, and Beast race – is a test of endurance, strength, and mental fortitude. Completing all three races in one year not only earns you a coveted medal, but also a sense of profound accomplishment that changes racers for life. But why take on the Trifecta? It’s no easy feat – but Spartans don't do things that come easy. Let’s dive into inspiring stories from members of the Trifecta Tribe to explore why athletes keep coming back for more.
