Spartan Trail

Classic trail running, no obstacles, many distances. Each race takes place on beautiful, rugged trails around the world. Spartan also hosts the Spartan Trail World Championship series, with some of trail running’s most iconic events and athletes.

Spartan has done a big jump into the trail running scene through Spartan Trail, creating and partnering with world class events for an outstanding experience.

From challenging, interesting and touristic aimed races for those who chose to defy themselves every day, to assembling a World Championship with the biggest prize purse in major events for Elite runners, growing the trail running community and sharing the soul of the sport is the main goal of our company.

Poconos has a secret that the obstacle racers don’t know about. While this is one of the oldest, most tried-and-true venues on the Spartan OCR circuit, there’s another side of Blue Mountain that those racers have never touched.

Outside of the normal ski area boundary lie miles of pristine singletrack trails too narrow and inaccessible for obstacle building. That means that only Spartan Trail racers get to experience them, and those trails make this race a racer favorite.

But you won’t get off that easy, because some of Palmerton’s legendary hills are still waiting!
