U.S. AIR FORCE: SPECIAL WARFARE
RUN WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST
Spartan racers and Air Force Special Warfare Operators have a lot in common—intelligence, physical stamina, mental fortitude, athleticism and so on. Now these two have partnered to create some of the most challenging heats Spartan has ever seen. A unique experience where Special Warfare Operators will run alongside Spartan racers as both encounter and overcome physical and mental obstacles.
Special Warfare Hero Heats

Spartan will be hosting 12 heats at 12 different Spartan Sprints (5k) races this year for racers who are 17 to 32 years old. During each of these heats, Special Warfare Operators and Air Force recruiters will run alongside the Spartan racers and give advice on how to overcome some of the same exact obstacles they had to conquer in their own training.

In support of the Air Force Special Warfare, Spartan is covering the price of race tickets for Hero Heats participants.

Where Brains Meet Brawn

Being a Special Warfare Operator or a high-level Spartan athlete doesn’t stop at being in peak physical shape. Both groups know that mental toughness is what separates the good from the absolute best. So not only will the Special Warfare Heats be physically demanding, but you can anticipate a mental component that will truly determine if you have what it takes to run with the best of the best.

Making the Impossible Possible, Every Single Day.
