Challenge, and a proud member of the New England Spahtens. The shorter course, more obstacle heavy format is certainly very appealing to both the elite OCR competitor and the novice OCR runner and as expected Spartan Race provided another incredible and unique OCR experience! As 5 th place female finisher Nikki Enberg added, “I loved the format and would definitely do more races that were like this – shorter distances and more obstacle focused”. My advice would be simple, let everyone run a “qualifier heat“, then have a “championship heat” later in the day for the top 15 times for a chance at the top 10 prizes.Īll in all this was a fantastic event and for a first time race format it went amazingly well. Great idea, however with natural bottlenecks and slight course changes its impossible to ensure all participants an equal shot. There was no elite heat which meant all times run throughout the day counted toward placement. My question is simple, how can the results be counted the same if they completed a “different” course? Clearly in a first time race this isn’t such a big deal, but moving forward this absolutely would have to be addressed in order to ensure equality for all. I also spoke with another high placing elite female who completed the chariot drag. I, myself, waited for over 2 minutes for a sled and I spoke with one other high placing elite female who was allowed to supplement a bear crawl for the chariot drag. Only having five Chariots of Fire sleds created an issue. A little pavement here or there isn’t a bad thing, but for a feature invitational type Olympic event, it would be much better suited on a different venue. There was far too much cement/pavement running for a true OCR. Brandon DuPont, the 6 th place male finisher remarked, “it just didn’t seem right there not being a spear throw at a Spartan Race”. No Spear Throw? This was a shock! A Spartan Race staple absolutely is a must. All of these obstacles were within a ¼ mile radius and really proved to be an amazing challenge.ĭespite the many positive aspects of the event, there were a few negatives. That area included two over/under/through sections, a mud crawl under telephone poles, Hercules hoist, traverse wall, a brand new 15’ slanted wall with ropes featuring a beautiful hand painted Spartan Race mural (by Andrew Fogarty), a log balance beam, chariots of fire, another slanted wall climb and log hops. There were numerous walls of varying heights, a rope climb, a crawling section, sand bag carry, tire flip, log carry, monkey bars, a switchback cargo net and the true gem of this course the Reebok CrossFit One course. It was EXTREMELY well marked (must add I was a course marker along with the famous Mama Hen, Sandy Rhee of the NE Spahtens) and what it lacked in terrain or elevation, certainly was compensated for in obstacles.

Upon crossing the finish line you were met with a bag FULL of goodies including Spartan Fuel, Spartan Protein, and an uncensored copy of Spartan Race founder Joe Desena’s book, Spartan The Fuck Up. Five runners were sent every minute on the minute to tackle the course. Just under 1,000 racers completed the 1.79 mile course (by my GPS watch), that was absolutely loaded with 38 obstacles. Was this the future of obstacle course racing? Was it just another masterpiece put on by the folks at Spartan Race? Whatever “it” was, The Reebok Spartan Race Invitational, held at Reebok’s corporate headquarters on Sunday April 27 th was nothing short of amazing.
