2026 Vermont Spartan Event Weekend

The Vermont Spartan Event Weekend takes place at the Killington Ski Resort in the Green Mountains. This venue features a landscape characterized by steep slopes, off-trail descents, and significant vertical climbs. The event is held at the location where the Spartan Race originated, offering a variety of obstacle course distances across the rugged Vermont terrain.

Participants can choose from several distinct race formats depending on their preferred distance and obstacle count:

  • Sprint: A 5 km course featuring 20 obstacles.
  • Beast: A 21 km course featuring 30 obstacles.
  • Ultra: A 50 km course featuring 60 obstacles.
  • Kids Race: Distances ranging from 1 km to 3 km with specialized obstacles.

The course design utilizes the natural elevation of the ski resort, including "The Beast" trails. Water stations are positioned along the route to support participants during the event. Spectator access is available for those who wish to view the races from designated areas. The event weekend includes a range of atmospheric elements provided by the organizers, and finishers receive commemorative items upon completion of their respective distances.

Registration options include individual entry or team participation, which allows groups to coordinate their start times. Specific discounts are available for military members, law enforcement, and first responders through identity verification. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
