Spartan Race
October 5, 2019
HUGH T CROPPER INLET, OCEAN CITY MD
It’s time to make a splash, Spartans. We’re headed to Ocean City, Maryland for some fun in the sun at the 3-mile Ocean City Spartan Sprint.
Don’t expect much lounging around on this beach vacation. You’ll be speeding through the sand, boardwalks and streets of Ocean City, all while weaving your way through 20 of Spartan’s most famous obstacles.
The Sprint may be our shortest distance race, but it’s still a favorite among 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 obstacles over 3 mi / 5 km, 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.
