Spartan Race Giveaway and Discount Code!

Updated - Winner Chosen!








Doing an obstacle race was high on my radar a few years ago when I was really getting into my bootcamp classes.  But, since I became primarily focused on running, the idea sort of fell by the wayside.  Now that I've tried my first trail race, and put the half marathon distance on the back burner for awhile, it would be the perfect time to try one out, if I could get over my fear of slipping and falling... hmmm.




As it happens, the folks at Spartan Race reached out to me with a free race entry to give away and I was pretty bummed to learn that I already have a commitment and wouldn't be able to check out my local Spartan Race which is this weekend.  However, if you would like to take part in a Spartan Race near you, or near somewhere you'd love to travel, I have a free entry to give away.  They even have international races and one in Chicago - this could be your excuse to visit!  



What seems pretty cool about the Spartan Races, is that they have different levels/distances to choose from throughout the year and it’s been voted the #1 obstacle race by Outside Magazine.  Also pretty cool, Joe De Sena, founder of Spartan Race and members of his team are hitting the road and leading free Spartan Workouts across the country.  Go here to find one near you. 

To enter, just leave me a comment below.  I'd love to hear your feedback on obstacle races: tell me if you've never tried one, or if you have - what did you think?  Which race did you do?  A Spartan Race?  I'll choose a winner via random.org next Tuesday, August 6th.  And if you just can't wait to see if you've won, or are signing up for this weekend's race in Washington, click HERE for a discount code for 15% off any Spartan Race!  The code will work one time for any open heat in any 2013-2104 Spartan Race in the continental US.

  1. I've never ran a Spartan Race, but I did the Primal Mud Run last year and it was a blast. I'd like to do that kind of race again.

  2. My first obstacle course race was a Spartan race. I've done others, but spartan was unique. The terrain they choose and the penalties for failing obstacles make it very tough. But it has some of the best people running them. I would love to do another one.

  3. I just did a Tough Mudder a few weeks back. It would fun to run another obstacle course to compare the two. Of course a cool medal would be nice too

  4. Finished the Super Spartan two weekends ago and looking to complete the Trifecta by year's end. It's be nice to get one for free!

  5. Many miles to travel to any Spartan Race being from the land of OZ. Spartan put me on the path to losing currently 110 pounds as of Monday this week. I completed my first Spartan in May in Texas and it changed me it showed me so much about what we are capable of. I would love to be able to do another one and not have to worry about entry fees along with all the other travel expenses.

  6. I've done the Spartan Beast (13 miles) which was my first Spartan race. It took me a little over 4 hours and I ended up having to do 150 burpees total. Needless to say, I was unprepared for a lot of the strength related obstacles. I had the running down, but my upper body strength just wasn't there. I vow not to let that happen again.

  8. I've done the spartan trifecta, a warrior dash, and tough mudder. For anyone thinking about doing one I'd highly recommend just signing up and doing it. You won't regret it. It's a great feeling finishing the race. And usually the obstacles aren't too hard with a little bit of training. And the odds of getting hurt aren't that great. It's a great time.
