About 40 miles from Los Angeles, this site boasts beautiful views and miles of steep trails that will test every racer on the course. The weather is usually perfect, but should it happen to rain, this will become one of the muddiest races on the Spartan calendar — fast.

All finishers receive a T-shirt, medal and professional photos, and every registration comes with access to the Spartan Account to track your tickets, race results, photos, teams, and challenges.

Spartan Sprint

A 5K that will change your life. The Sprint is the first stop for many in their Spartan journey. It’s also an event that some returning Spartans focus on for years to come for its challenges of speed and obstacle intensity over a shorter distance.

A classic obstacle course racing experience. The Sprint combines relatively easy trail running with 20 obstacles, held on off-road terrain featuring water and mud. Climb walls, crawl under wire, traverse monkey bars, aim a spear throw, and more.

Spartan is a true all-round physical and mental test. Ideal for runners, weightlifters, functional fitness fans, and newbies alike, there are parts of each Sprint that push you in all areas. Focus training on areas you’re not so good at, and if that’s all of them, no problem. Spartan brings together world-class elite athletes, to people just trying to get active.

Hurricane Heat

This extreme event began in Hurricane Irene in 2011, when weather was so brutal all races were shut down. Spartan put out a call: all those hard enough to face the storm, show up on race day. Most didn’t, a few did; and the Hurricane Heat was born.

Hurricane Heat is a mainly team-based event designed to take your mental and physical capabilities to new limits. Expect grueling physical tasks, problem solving, leadership challenges, as well as solo performance tests under extreme conditions.

Personal evolution is the goal of Hurricane Heat. There are no medals here. However, those strong enough to finish a Hurricane Heat will take home some highly sought after swag. The shirt says you’re one in a select club of Spartans worldwide.

Each Hurricane Heat is entirely unpredictable, so ensuring your all-round functional fitness is as good as it can be by event day is key to a successful and enjoyable event. Distance running and marches with a weighted pack are excellent prep, as is bodyweight loaded workouts featuring squats, pushups, dips, burpees, and jumping jacks.
