Spartan Canada National Series winners are decided by cumulative event points, with both races counting towards the final leaderboard. Prize money will be awarded to the top 10 male and female elite finishers at each of the two series events, and a final prize purse of over $30,000 will be awarded to the top 10 male and female athletes on the final leaderboard of the series.

In addition to the qualified elite field, competitive athletes will enter 10 women’s and men’s Age Group categories: 14-17, 18-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, and 60+. Each Spartan Canada National Series race weekend also features Open heat events for athletes of all skill levels.
“Now the undisputed global leader in OCR, what has allowed Spartan to rise above the many ‘mud runs’ and other obstacle course events is our commitment to competition,” said Spartan Canada Race Director Johnny Waite. “For some, this may mean competing against yourself — to improve on your time or your finishing place in Open waves. But for the Spartan Elite and Age Group athletes who are committed to elevating their performance, the Canada National Series is their opportunity to prove that they’re the best in this sport — and for us to recognize them for this achievement.”
Following the series, athletes from the U.S, Canada, and Mexico will compete in the Spartan North American Championship, with all roads leading to the 2021 Spartan World Championship in Abu Dhabi. The World Championship — the first to be held outside of the United States — will take place Dec. 3-4.
With safety being Spartan’s No. 1 priority, the brand will implement modified operating procedures to maximize the safety of racers, spectators, and all event personnel. Spartan will continue to follow PHAC safety guidelines and work closely with local officials and safety advisors, which could result in alterations to events on a case-by-case basis.
