One of the interesting aspects of the race was watching the athletes prepare to tackle the course. Both days had kids’ races for ages 14 and younger, with the option of a 1- or 2-mile obstacle course that saw many future Spartan participants testing their skills. The Sprint, the shortest of the Spartan races, with more than 20 obstacles over 3 miles was run July 14, 2019, with many first timers participating. The Super event saw the competitors battling against more than 25 obstacles over 8 miles of rugged terrain July 13, 2019. The Super and Sprint Weekend events, along with children’s events both days, brought many athletes to the post to test their mental and physical capabilities over a challenging course.
