Reebok Spartan Race Malaysia / Singapore 2015

Are you ready for the world’s leading obstacle racing series,Spartan RaceYes, the Reebok Spartan Race is coming to Malaysia and Singapore in October and November, respectively. 

As I know the Spartan Race is a series of challenging obstacle races that involve running, climbing, and crawling to carry ourself through all the obstacles to reach the finish line. This race gonna test our strength, balance, mental tenacity and endurance.  

Let's find out more about the  Reebok Spartan Race!
A little bit background about this race...

Spartan Race, voted Outside Magazine’s Best Obstacle Race, is the world’s leading obstacle racing series and the first of its kind to feature timing and global rankings. With over 130 events in 17 countries during 2014 alone, Reebok Spartan Race has made obstacle racing one of the fastest growing sports in the world. The global event series features races at three distances, 5+ km/15+ Obstacle Sprint, 13+ km/20+ Obstacle Super and 20+ km/ 25+ Obstacle Beast, culminating each year in the Spartan World Championship.
Spartan Race is not your average race! While you are certainly familiar with everyday run-of-the-mill running races, the Spartan Race is like their adventurous, adrenaline-junkie friend who thrives on excitement.

Not only will you be running, climbing, and crawling across unknown terrain, but you’ll also get to splash through mud, tackle many unique and challenging obstacles, test your overall strength, balance, mental tenacity and endurance, and finish with a fiery leap of victory!

It’s probably one of the most exciting, invigorating and thrilling ways you can choose to spend your weekend.
Imagine a large area of outdoor terrain. It might be sandy or muddy. It could be a hilly meadow or a forest. It could be anything. Throw in a few hills here and there, and maybe a river or a lake sits in the middle of this.

We’ll put a course that runs through and around the area. Then, we’ll put some obstacles in the way. Obstacles that will make you climb, crawl or carry yourself over, through and past them.
If you fail one of these obstacles, you do 30 burpees and then you continue. 
There are 3 main types of races:
1.) SPARTAN SPRINT : 5+ kilometres and 15+ obstacles (for beginners)
2.) SPARTAN SUPER : 13+ kilometres and 20+ obstacles
3.) SPARTAN BEAST : 20+ kilometres and 25+ obstacles

There is also SPARTAN JUNIOR, 0.75 to 2+ kilometres  and 7 to 14+ obstacles
