There’s no dress code, but you’ll be running in mud and water, climbing hills and mountains, under barbed wire and jumping fire. Our elites recommend performance gear (NO COTTON), water packs, compression underwear, Clif bars and energy gel. Advice from experience: race in what you train in.

Relief and supply

Accepted Answer

There are water and aid stations on the course and at the finish. But these are Spartan-style water stations so if you have specific needs for nutrition (gels and bars) make sure to take that with you AND keep all rubbish with you! Carry extra hydration and fuel if you think you might bonk or pass out from dehydration. Especially for the Beast race we highly recommend carrying a camelbak.

Question 12

START HEAT: How to select my start?

Accepted Answer

Spartan Race operates with heat starts. Heat size depends on the race course but will be between 150 and 200 athletes. Heats will leave every 15 minutes after the first heat. Select well your departure time depending on your level, your team and your objectives. Don’t register in the last heats if you do not feel comfortable finishing the race on time. There is no cut off time but for obvious security reasons, all athletes must be at the finish line by a certain time. Please note, the team registration does not guarantee the same starting heats. Once a heat is full, only the teams will be grouped in the same heat after sending a request. No exceptions will be made regarding changing in the Elite/Competitive or Open heats, only teams will be grouped in the same heat after sending the request to our customer service (FAQ’s).

Question 13

Accepted Answer

Unexpected things come up in life. We understand that so we try our best to accommodate the date and/or time transfers, whenever possible. Transfers to another heat of the same category are free (to another category you will have to change the price difference: Open to Elite +20 €, Open to Age Group +20 €). If you want to transfer to another event there is a charge on these transfers depending on the ticket values and with a service fee. Transfers are possible until the Thursday before the event.
