THE CHALLENGE

Don’t worry, we got you. Spartan’s Ultra training plans will guide you through the workouts necessary to do your best, whether it’s your first Ultra, or your 100th.

Training Center

Rugged terrain and extreme weather are the norm, so you’ll need to gear up with the appropriate clothing for heat, cold, rain, and snow. You’ll also want a second set for the halfway point drop bin so you can re-kit.

Consider waterproof layers, extra footwear and socks, sun protection, a hydration pack or vest, fuel and hydration, a headlamp, a small medical kit, and other items for the long haul.
