A high level obstacle course organized by Spartan launches its first race in Switzerland
If you are an avid sports person, enjoy getting dirty and muddy, love a challenge, like to push your own limits, then you will be thrilled to hear about this sport event coming to Switzerland! An amazing obstacle course will be held for the first time in Switzerland — Spartan will be held in Verbier in September!
With its unique panoramic view of the Alps, its demanding terrain and a route for all levels, Verbier will play host on Sunday, September 14 2019. If you have ever watched Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge, Takeshi's Castle, Gladiators, Wipeout, Ninja Warrior, or any similar obstacle course, then you will be the first to know how demanding this can be. Months of training and fitness routines are needed... some of the participants are avid Spartan followers who follow the organization around the world.
Barbed wire, fire, and a myriad of obstacles will be set for the inauguration. Three groups featured this year:
- Sprint: with 20 to 25 obstacles over more than 5 km
- Super: with 25 obstacles over 13 km
- Spartan Kids: with a distance between 800m and 3.2km
Spartan events consist of races for athletes of all ages and levels, from beginner to elite runner, while the Spartan Kids race offers several options for children from 4 years old.
