Welcome
Welcome to the revamped Spartan newsletter. Spartan is
about more than a race, it's a way of life and, through this newsletter,
I hope to push you to become the best version of yourself.

Each month, we'll share stories of fellow Spartan racers, nutrition, training, and mindfulness tips, a record of your own stats and a look ahead at upcoming races. Thank you for being a part of the Spartan community and let's keep climbing towards the next challenge!
