FORT BENNING – GEORGIA SPRINT
Spartan Race is coming to FORT BENNING, FORT MITCHELL AL
Race with the world’s best soldiers this April. Join Spartan at the site of the 2017 Best Ranger competition for the 3rd Spartan race, built with the help of the Ranger Battalion.
Dominate more than 20 military inspired, measurable obstacles over this 3+ mile Sprint course.
TOP REASONS TO TAKE ON THIS COURSE:
1. Fort Benning is right outside of Columbus, GA. Columbus offers a wide variety of attractions including the new National Infantry Museum and the National Civil War Naval Museum at Port Columbus. Keep on exploring the nation’s military history long after you leave the base!
2. You could catch a show at the nearby RiverCenter for the Performing Arts.
3. Head to Cannon Brew Pub after the race to replace the carbs lost. You deserve it. Indulge in your choice between wood fired pizzas, burgers, steaks, pasta, and wash it all down the a craft-made beer.
4. Did you not get enough exercise at the race? We find that hard to believe, but there are other ways to get your extra outdoors fix in Columbus. You could bike an 11-mile pathway that is Columbus’s former rail system. There are rest stops along the way in case that Spartan Race starts to catch up with you.
COURSE OPTIONS & DETAILS:
The Reebok Spartan Sprint: The Sprint may be our shortest distance race, but it’s still a favorite amongst both new and returning racers. It’s the perfect distance for those looking to start their Spartan journey. The Sprint also allows returning racers a manageable distance to see how far they can push themselves. Delivering 20-23 obstacles over 3-5 miles, you’ll never run the same race twice. Once you complete the sprint you are 1/3 on your Spartan TRIFECTA: The ultimate Spartan achievement.
