Spartan Race in Big Bear

The Spartan Race has come back to Big Bear and they will be hosting a Weekend event at Snow Summit throughout the weekend of May 18 – 19, 2024. The 2024 Big Bear Spartan Trifecta Weekend! This event boasts 3 different races for individuals aged 14 & up as well as kids races of varying lengths for those aged 4-14. Spartan races began in 2010 when founder Joe De Sena came up with the idea of creating an endurance race for a wide audience of competitors that would test their endurance in and out of the box way. There will still be a $26.00 administration fee to the Spartan Race. Destination Big Bear will cover your Registration Fee if you stay with us!

Challenge Yourself

The Spartan culture encourages everyone to challenge themselves physically and mentally in a way that allows you to enjoy the experience while leaving you with a feeling of accomplishment that you have likely never experienced before. The Spartan Sprint is ideal for those that have recently committed to an active lifestyle as well as those that are just looking for a bit more of a challenge. The Spartan Sprint is the Spartan race favorite among competitors due to the shorter length yet well-rounded course style that will leave feeling challenged and accomplished at the end of the event.

Kids Race

What we also love about Spartans is their commitment to children. The not-for-profit Spartan Kids foundation awards grants to children in grades K-12 that are looking to enhance their physical fitness and create healthy lifestyles through funding activities and teaching them successful habits that they can carry with them into adulthood. The Spartan races for children are a great way to create a memorable family experience by allowing children as young as 4 to compete and learn to enjoy exercising. 

Something for Everyone

These races are designed to enhance each racer’s experience while allowing them to compete in a high-energy, large group environment while reaching individual goals simultaneously. Each racer is given a set start time and they are given a tracker that will record their final time when they cross the finish line. As a Spartan competitor, you can make your way through the course at a running pace that is comfortable for you. Competitors at all levels of their journey to health and wellness are encouraged to participate – but be prepared because Spartan has some serious love for mud and army crawling!

Mud and army crawling? Those are just a few obstacles that you are likely to confront on the course during one of the 3 adult races.

Spartan races are also a way to gather your group of friends or coworkers together to have some fun. We have local gyms that come together and race as a way to show off their progress and we have also had Destination guests that have come up for the race to have a small reunion with college friends. Some just want to enjoy an active weekend with their kids and each family member competes in the race that best suits their current fitness goals.  Whatever your reason may be, this event is fun! Stay for the weekend with us and become a Spartan, you’re worth it.

If you’re looking for an outdoor adventure and a physical challenge, look no further than the Spartan Race. This event is coming to Big Bear Lake on May 19-21 and will include three different races for individuals aged 14 and up, as well as kid’s races of varying lengths.
