CENTRAL FLORIDA BEAST AND SPRINT WEEKEND
Spartan Race is coming to Central Florida in 2017.
Set just outside quiet Mulberry, Florida the Mims Corporation ranch is the type of setting that harkens back to Spartan’s roots. Foothills and weaving forest paths will be testing you every step of the way as you run, sweat, and bleed.
TOP REASONS TO TAKE ON THIS COURSE:
1. This is one of the newest Spartan courses for 2017, meaning every inch of this course is uncharted territory. As with all Spartan races; expect the unexpected
2. With this event being in the sunshine state you can expect great weather, sunny smiling faces, and the race of your life
3. There’s plenty of new exciting adventures to check out in nearby Mulberry, not to mention Tampa being a 30 minute drive away.
COURSE OPTIONS & DETAILS:
The Reebok Spartan Beast: This is our most difficult of the three. The Beast will test not only your endurance, perseverance and grit, but also your mind. The 12-14 Mile Beast packs more than 30 Signature Spartan Obstacles and your final hurdle to Spartan TRIFECTA glory. It won’t be easy but you can’t believe how good the medal feels at the finish line.
12-14 miles / 30-35 Obstacles / 3 Hours Fastest Time
The Reebok Spartan Sprint: This is our shortest distance. It is perfect for athletes of all levels; from Spartan first timers to seasoned racers. The 3-5 Mile Sprint may be our shortest distance but it packs more than 20 Signature Spartan Obstacles. If you think you can’t do it, you’re wrong. Get to the starting line and show yourself what you are capable of.
