City events aren’t that common, so if you spot one near you, give it a go. These races feature timing, and have Open heats only. They’re also different to both Sprint and Stadion events in both their layout, and the types of obstacles you’ll tackle.

City events feature a special collectible swag with City’s unique white color. This is some bling that you’ll rarely see around, so if you’re a return racer or just starting your Spartan collection, get your hands on it while you can.

The Experience
“The Spartan City is the perfect challenge for anyone to take on. It's fast paced and fun, and the various obstacles were really unique!”
Ryan A., New York City
THE CHALLENGE

Our City races require the same level of mental toughness, endurance, agility, and obstacle-course skill as our Sprint race. This race is accessible to nearly every fitness level, but you can level-up your training with a focus on speed and overall strength.

Training Center

The City requires little more than standard sports attire. It’s intense and short so consider compression gear to help with explosive movements and to reduce muscle fatigue. An athletic shoe designed for courts or pavement will help with comfort and speed. You’ll have access to regular hydration points at aid stations.
