Reebok Spartan Race

You heard right.  Reebok and Spartan Race have teamed up to bring the sport of OCR to new and better places.  Announced on 1/17/2013 "Reebok, the global fitness brand, and Spartan Race, the world’s leading obstacle racing series and Outside Magazine’s Best Obstacle Race in 2012, have today announced a multi-year partnership. The collaboration marks Reebok’s commitment to one of the world’s newest and fastest growing sports – obstacle racing."  With the backing of Reebok, Spartan Race will now have the ability to reach more people and change even more lives.

I can attest to the fact that Spartan Race has helped to change my life.  It gave me a reason to keep training and to stay off the couch.  Now they have given an even better reason.  According to comments made by Reebok Spartan Race, " They are committed to a Spartan Race in "Sparta" Greece in 2015 for Trifecta holders."  This is an awesome turn of events in my opinion.  To have the opportunity to race in the birthplace of what I consider true military discipline and  what was the inspiration for the Spartan Race is amazing.  I for one hope this comes to pass.  I have already earned my Trifecta for 2012 and will hopefully earn the Trifecta again in 2013.

I would encourage everyone that has made some kind of New Years Resolution to lose weight or get fit to sign up for a race.  Any race will due, but I would personally recommend the Reebok Spartan Race Series.  They have races all over the country and will most likely be bringing a Spartan Beast to the Madison, Wi area in 2013.  I for one will not be missing out.  I am already registered for the 2013 Indiana Sprint and the Midwest Super and am pre-registered for the Madison Beast.  If you do nothing else for yourself this year, please make it a healthy year.
