Poconos Spartan Event Weekend

The Poconos Spartan Event Weekend takes place at the Blue Mountain Ski Area in Palmerton, Pennsylvania. This event utilizes the natural terrain of the Poconos, featuring a course that travels through dense forests and over rugged hills. Participants navigate various obstacles while ascending and descending the mountain landscape.

The weekend includes several event types and distances:

  • Super 10K: A course consisting of 10 km with 25 obstacles, part of the North East National Series.
  • Sprint 5K: A 5 km distance featuring 20 obstacles.
  • Kids Race: Distances ranging from 1 km to 3 km including obstacles.
  • Obstacle Workshop: A session held on the Friday before the primary race days.

The venue provides views of the surrounding area from the top of the mountain. Spectators can access the mountain summit via a chair lift to observe the course and the participants. The event is open to individuals and teams, and volunteer opportunities are available. The location at 1660 Blue Mountain Drive features woods and varied mountain terrain typical of the Pennsylvania region. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
