Summer Death Race

Every Death Race is a uniquely brutal test, designed by Spartan founder Joe De Sena to push athletes to their mental and physical limits. Held in Vermont’s unforgiving Green Mountains, these 70+ hour challenges offer no support, no set start or end, and no guarantees. Failure is expected. Quitting is encouraged.
