Update - no, it's not legal.

Same!

Couldn’t agree more 👍 We’re thinking about doing a trefecta weekend this year, looking forward to doing the challenge together 😃

Congrats on signing up for your first Spartan race 👏 I feel like the opposite, where we started with Spartan races and are now getting into more endurance stuff, I’ll be doing my first marathon in June 😅

Yeah, this was one of the only courses we’ve done so far that doesn’t have any mud or water

Yes, San Luis Obispo is a very flat course, great for beginners though

That’s cool that you’re interested in doing a Stadion. We did one in 2022 and it was one of our favorite races. Johnni did it at 5’4” and was able to complete the obstacles and had a great time

Gloves are allowed 👍

lol, yeah, we are used to 110+ degree summers

Thanks!

Yes, that’s true. This was an open heat and the volunteers we’re pretty laxed about most of the obstacles

The Super is usually a 10K-ish distance

Hope you had a great race! How’d it go?

Haha!

That’s great! How’d the race go?

Stadions usually take place in sports stadiums and the obstacles tend to have less reps and lessened penalties, whereas the Sprints take place out on trails with hills and tend to be a lot messier / muddier. Both are around a 5K distance

Happy to help!

You’re welcome!

Thanks!

First, congrats on wanting to do a Spartan race at 54, that’s awesome 👏 In regard to training, you are probably fit enough for the race with all of the cardio and strength work you’ve done over the years, but you may want to try doing things like rope climbs or sled pulls to train your grip strength. Personally, the more prepared you go into the race the better your experience will probably be, so at a minimum a month or two would be good. We hope you have a great race!

@MakeSomedayToday thank you for the reply.

Most races do not have a time limit, however, some of the longer races may have cut-off times for safety concerns

This race took us about 2 and a half hours, including filming. However, the finish time can vary greatly depending on where you’re at (and to an extent how many people are on the course)

That’s awesome! Which race did you choose?

@@MakeSomedayToday I just went with the 5k sprint as I am not back to shape as I once was next year I'll do the 10k

You’re welcome 🙂

Yeah, it can help some people prevent muscle cramping during a race

Thanks, glad to hear that you’re making it happen and getting started

Most of the footage was shot on iPhones

Series 6, had it for about 2 1/2 years and aside from a few scratches, it’s held up just fine

@@MakeSomedayToday Thank you so much! Planning to join Spartan next year and I'm looking to pick up an apple watch myself too, preferably the SE series. I hope w some casing on it, it would be fine!

@@nicholasting9726 Yep, the SE should do the trick, I hope you have a great race 👍

Thanks! Good luck on your upcoming race 👊

Yeah, it’s odd but a lot of people swear by the stuff, and anecdotally it’s worked for us too in a pinch

Thanks and congrats on all of those previous races, keep up the great work and we hope that you crush your first Spartan race 👊

Thanks, we’re glad to hear that you’re setting the goal to do a Spartan race next year, good luck!

Wow, that’s awesome!

That’s awesome! Good luck on your first race 👊

How did your first race go

Thanks

Thanks! Yep, we’ll be in Monterey both Saturday and Sunday this weekend 😃

Yea, that is true, when we recorded these races it was during a open heat, but I think we’ll do a follow up video showing how these obstacles are supposed to be done. We’ve done a couple of Age Groups since this one and have some footage of doing the obstacles as you mentioned. Thanks for your input!
