about the event

Welcome to "Joe’s Backyard"—the holy grail of obstacle course racing. The 2027 Vermont Spartan Race returns to Killington Resort for the ultimate test of grit, mental toughness, and physical limit. Known as the hardest venue on the U.S. circuit, the Green Mountains will push you through monstrous climbs, brutal off-trail descents, and freezing mountain waters. Are you tough enough to conquer the birthplace of Spartan? Prove it.
