Join us this weekend, February 7-8, at Fort McDowell Rodeo Grounds for the Arizona Spartan Sprint! This race is set just 35 miles from Phoenix. The land is a vast 24,000 acres with elevations in the park rising to 3,000 feet along the western boundary, at the base of the McDowell Mountains. While we won’t make our Spartans run all of that, the course will explore many parts of the valley.
Come race in this legendary and stunning venue which is sure to have twist and turns, as well as highs and lows. Conquer this blistering Arizona course and know that you’ve made history in a place built on a lasting future. Get a taste of what you’re in for by watching highlights of last year’s race, below:
