“The first season of Spartan Trail has been so overwhelming popular, we had to create a championship event to end the season the right way,” said Spartan Director of Product Management Josue Stephens. “This year’s trail events have drawn some of the best names in trail running, and with the unprecedented $50,000 prize purse, we expect a strong turnout and highly competitive event.”

With a course designed by trail legend and Spartan Trail Race Director Luis Escobar, the event will take racers through the woods and trails of Central California’s Ted Chamberlin Ranch, where they will face rugged technical terrain in both the 10K and 21K race formats. In addition to the elite competition, racers can participate in 10 competitive age group brackets for a shot at the podium, or in open heats.
