Men's North American Elite Series 2022 | Race 1 | San Luis Obispo Super

The men's field is deep for the first North American Elite Series race of 2022. Reigning champ Veejay Jones is on-site looking to capitalize on his staggering 2021 performance, along with 2021 mainstays Ryan Atkins, Logan Broadbent, and Mark Gaudet. Ryan Kent and Hunter McIntyre also both make their long awaited returns to the course. Will they make an immediate impact or will the rust show?

So much respect for these athletes. Just finished my first race (a super). It was an absolute struggle but our group finished.

[@stephenp7925]

I think some more video of the 2nd and 3rd pack of runners would be good too even if it makes the video longer

[@cdigdawg]

Holy smokes was that a fast race! Crazy speed. Thanks for the coverage Spartan.

[@lucabrasi8069]

goofy ahhh boi

[@roger9162]

Nice to see Hunter again in these events ☄

[@mattsully2238]

Thank you for not putting a medal picture on the thumbnail. Much better. Keeps the drama alive and encourages me to finish the video

[@deracop6]

Respect to the camermen trying to keep up lol damns

[@YourFitnessQuest]

These races are so fun to watch and what a fast course! I really enjoy the commentator and his insights about each athlete. Veejay is looking great.

[@Pectusnation]

That was a great video production. Good job guys getting this on camera the way you did!!! Very entertaining. Those guys are fast!!!

[@cantstopthesickness]

Excellent coverage once again! Veejay Jones is just completely dominant on the obstacles. Such a blistering pace, Whoa 😳

スパルタンレースのレベルの高さを見れる素晴らしい動画です！ 本当にかっこいいです！ 選手の皆さんお疲れ様でした！

[@brit1259]

Hawk looked like his Herc Hoist landed fast. He is going to be a force with a bit more hoist strength in the future.

[@OmarAbdulMalikDHEdMPASPACPAPro]

MAN, this exciting!😃 Oh, to be young and fit! These guys are awesome!!To me, this is more exciting than football or basketball! I hope to see more coverage of these races. The commentator does a wonderful job! Thanks for sharing this with us!👋🏽👨🏽‍⚕️

I once met Mark Batres while in line at a Taco Shop, 2019, Salinas Spartan Course. I asked if he ever ran Spartan before lol. It was my first race.

TOP10にライアンケントの名前が 久々に見た 地味に嬉しい✨

[@TheRemulosEpsolonProgramme]

This isn't me talking sh*t, but going back to pipe lair, many athletes touched a foot on the grass prior to hitting the bell, some big names too, not cool.

[@Dountman]

These dudes get faster and faster every race.

[@mikey___________]

shoutout to the camera man

[@ellpoyohlokoh]

Pour one out for ya boi hawk call, he got straight up demolished by that hoist bag.

[@gettingandmaintaining6-pac220]

He did the same last year in slc. Surprised there wasn’t improvement.

[@ellpoyohlokoh]

@@gettingandmaintaining6-pac220 big manlet energy 😂

[@debrascott8775]

Fun to watch but surprised the obstacles havent changed in years, seems all about how's the fast runner now.

[@isddac4996]

The fastest runner did not win this race. He said it himself in the final interview. Its the whole point of the hybrid system. Then spartan would just be American Ninja warrior. It’s about extreme levels of fitness combined with obstacles.

[@jdnw1731]

@@isddac4996 the comment "extreme levels of fitness" is ridiculous, the most impressive part of this is the running

[@tortillaflat1]

Oops, looks like Atkins touched the ground on Pipe Lair lol

[@bobz5]

Yes he did

[@amblincork]

He also needed a second attempt on another obstacle !! Unlike him

[@HashBrownDoyler]

Punch of pumpkin eaters

[@sryana8015]

That guy that supposedly won needs to go back and finish his sled drag. Didn’t hit the post

[@ozziealvarez3151]

yupppppppp

[@RunnersUniteCoaching]

That's why I don't like ocr so many variables.

[@thomas4510]

Surprised this wasn't noticed more... he cut so much time on tat compared to Mark who actually did

[@rhylancabalu7820]

How long is this race? 10K?

[@reczy]

Fuck the camera man was moving!

[@777triathlete]

Just looks like cross country running. I don’t get it.

[@thiruvankumar196]

Do these guys take PEDs, i heard that they all take .

[@user-py9kk7jg8f]

やっぱ世界はバケモンクラスやわ 障害物なしで走っても余裕で勝てんわ笑

[@ronniebx4664]

So it's this a running race with a few kindergarden obstacles? Ok got it😅 I see runners that's what I see lol

[@bt9765]

Not a very good event. Without more loaded carries or strength-based obstacles, these races are wayyyyy too biased towards the running specialists.

[@rssla4537]

i would rather watch more obstacles and not just running backs. very annoying not able to see, how athletes are passing all these obstacles

[@ddsmith3633]

One thing about spartan race. They sure have become lazy when it comes to course design. Embarrassing!

[@ellpoyohlokoh]

What makes you call this course lazy? I ran the beast and absolutely loved it.

[@ddsmith3633]

@@ellpoyohlokoh Spartan is lazy. As in the course design. No thought . Just use the roads that are already there. No imagination. Basic bitch course.

[@mitchruns9667]

@@ddsmith3633 nobody is asking you to pay for the races?

[@jimmyjones6497]

Lame course. Favored runners. It’s an obstacle race, right!?

[@RunnersUniteCoaching]

Get better at running?
