$50,000 in Prizes Featured in Three+ Mile/15+ Obstacle Sprint Race
Hosted by Spartan Founder Joe De Sena and Elite Spartan Athlete Hunter McIntyre; Bart Yasso of Runner’s World To Serve As Special Guest Speaker
BOSTON – Departing from the Port of Miami on the afternoon of March 6th, the three-night, all-inclusive Norwegian Cruise line cruise sails to a private island in the Bahamas’ Great Stirrup Cay for a Spartan Sprint race before returning to Miami on the morning of March 9th.
Co-hosted by Spartan founder and CEO Joe De Sena along with Reebok-sponsored elite Spartan athlete Hunter McIntyre, the ocean side course will welcome an estimated 2,000 race enthusiasts and their families for this first-ever totally immersive island experience. Additionally, Bart Yasso, Chief Running Officer of Runner’s World and a Running USA Hall of Champions inductee, will serve as a special guest speaker to share tales from decades of race experience and to discuss his patented training method used around the world.

Race morning will face you with a challenging course where you’ll navigate through sand, water, signature Spartan obstacles, as well as new, exclusive island-inspired challenges!
Across 4 miles in the estimated fastest time of 35 minutes. This will be a Sprint.
“It’s going to be as competitive as any Spartan Race, combined with a long weekend vacation in one of the world’s top travel destinations,” said De Sena. “The shorter Sprint presents plenty for the hardcore Elite to test themselves and is a good starter race for new Spartans.

Once aboard the luxurious Sky cruiser, families can take advantage of the 13 dining options, 12 bars and lounges, a spa, and casino to enjoy to and from the race course. Children under the age of 18 are welcomed to join, free of cost, and can compete in Kids Jr. Spartan races. **
