Training

Spartan is more than an obstacle course race—it’s an extreme wellness platform dedicated to forging unbreakable individuals. Through its signature training and race events, Spartan empowers people to cultivate both physical and mental strength, helping them tackle life's challenges head-on with resilience and purpose.

Founded in 2010 by endurance athlete and entrepreneur Joe De Sena, Spartan began as an evolution of the notoriously grueling Death Race, emerging from the rugged backdrop of Vermont’s Green Mountains. Rooted in a belief that modern life has softened us, Spartan races were conceived to reconnect people with ancient values of resilience, grit, and determination.
