See you there and Happy Mother's Day weekend! - Spartan RaceSpartan Trifecta Ohio, Garrettsville, OH
Who's in for a Spartan Race?! We are looking forward to your participation this year!
It's a great challenge and tons of fun!! Especially if you do it with a group of friends like we will be.
The race takes us to Garrettsville, OH. I am doing a trifecta weekend, which is a Sprint, Super, and Beast race. I'm doing the early morning wave at 8am. You may sign up for any race, or you can really test yourself and do the trifecta weekend with me. When you register and join the team, Dan formed for us to guarantee we all start at the same time. The team is named the: Melonballers! Please search for it and join it when you sign up.
A Spartan race can be physically demanding. However, it's strongly encouraged that you sign up for this event as spartan races are extremely fun, and the open races that we do allow for you to take your time if needed. Just getting out there to try it speaks volumes, and the atmosphere is exhilarating. I'm usually last to cross the finish line at times so i can pick up our friends who need an extra push and complete it so we can help and support one another.
Prices can be expensive the longer you wait to get them. There is currently no discount code yet that I'm aware of. You can sign up to volunteer at a race and receive a free race code, which is very helpful so you can race the next day. You would just pay admin fees, which is around $30.
The details for the race are here
If you sign up for this event, you are fully responsible for registering and paying for your entry yourself via the Spartan Website using the link provided above.
Carpooling is encouraged.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to me (Mike).
