Sprint

2019-06-22

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 20-23 obstacles over 3-5 miles, 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.

Kids Race

Spartan Race isn't just for adults. Our Spartan Kids Race offers two distances for the little Spartans in your life. Based on age, our Kids races have obstacles in them just like the grown up versions. Come watch your future Spartans run, jump, and play just like they're supposed to.

Spartans are taking over the Welch Village Ski Resort in Welch, Minnesota -- located less than an hour outside the Twin Cities. This Spartan Sprint, covering 3-5 miles, promises to test racers with a good mixture of 20+ obstacles, challenging ski slopes and hills, and no shortage of early morning fog, mud, water, and wind. Make no mistake, even the bunny hills become quad-searing challenges.

The converted ski resort plays well into creating a tough course with wide pathways that allow Spartans to separate from the crowd as they sprint from obstacle to obstacle. Don’t miss out on the chance to take Welch Village’s natural beauty adorned with towering pine trees and rolling hills.

TOP REASONS TO TAKE ON THIS COURSE:

1. Take advantage of a course that runs fast but completely prone to challenging weather and super slippery slopes.

2. Hike the surrounding area paths to loosen up those legs or get another workout in after the race.

3. Check out the Welch Village Ski Resort facilities and plan your next ski or snowboarding adventure.

4. Feeling unstoppable after your race? Head to Treasure Island where you will find a lively casino and an indoor pool.

5. Looking for a place to lay your head after a long weekend of racing? There are some nice options close by, including Country Inn & Suites, and the Round Barn Farm B&B. A homemade continental breakfast that includes fresh bread baked in an outdoor oven is included if you stay at the Farm, so you’ll get the chance to refuel and replace the calories you burned at your race.
