Spartanburg County, Spartan Race partner for Carolinas Ultra, Beast and Sprint Weekend
August 28, 2019
Spartanburg is once again partnering with Spartan Race for the Carolinas Ultra, Beast and Sprint Weekend on Nov. 23 and 24.
This year the races will be hosted at the Tryon International Equestrian Center, just over the North Carolina border on Nov. 23-24. The race had previously been hosted on land at Milliken & Company’s global headquarters, near the USC Upstate campus, however that land is no longer available.
The courses at the Tryon International Equestrian Center will be suited for beginners and elites alike. The 3-mile Sprint with 20-plus obstacles is back, as is the Beast, a 12-plus mile course with more than 30 obstacles. New to the Carolinas Spartan Weekend this year is the 30-mile Ultra course, which features 60 obstacles and will be sure to test any Spartan Racer.
“The terrain at the Tryon International Equestrian Center allows us to bring the Ultra to the Carolinas this year, giving local and regional racers an additional challenge than in years past,” said Garfield Griffiths, Spartan race director. “Spartanburg has been a great partner and host for Spartan over the last couple of years, and we have no doubt that will continue this year.”
