We recently wrote a story for Major League Baseball’s Insiders Club magazine on Spartan Race staging events at MLB ballparks. (Click on MLBSpartanRace for details).
Spartan hosted its first ballpark event in November at Boston’s Fenway Park. On April 13, Spartan will visit New York’s Citi Field, home of the New York Mets and the 2013 All-Star Game. On Aug. 31, Spartan will host an event at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park, home of the Phillies, and return to Fenway Park on Nov. 16.
Each event is a Spartan Sprint, roughly three miles, and takes athletes through the ballparks in time trial fashion. Unlike typical Spartan races, which feature mud and water obstacles, the ballpark events focus more on dry challenges. That’s because the baseball teams do not want their fields torn apart. Still, participants at the Boston event in November raved about the experience and the degree of difficulty.
