The Spartan Kids Race was created to help young athletes of all athletic abilities foster a life-long commitment to fitness and health. These events provide an opportunity for racers to develop and test their fitness in an exciting, outdoor environment where having fun and getting dirty is mandatory!
Racers run, balance, walk, crawl and climb their way through a fun-filled obstacle course that helps them discover how Spartan Strong they really are.
Ages: Racers from 4 to 13 years old.
Spartan Kids Race Distances: 0.5 km (4 yrs old), 1km (5-7 years old), 1 km (8-10 years old), 2 km (11-13 years old)
