      The parking lots available are located at Son Moix Stadium

      From there, a bus shuttle service provided by the organization
      will run all day roundtrip, communicating the parking with the

               OBSTACLES AND PENALTIES
               • Each obstacle has its own rules. These are simple and easy to understand, but we will
                 have volunteers to help you and you are responsible to inform yourself about the rules
                 for our standard obstacles upfront via the website (HERE)

               •     If you can not complete an obstacle you must do 30 burpees. There is no exception to
                    the rule!

               •     In the Open heats you can share burpees with other Spartans if you cannot do it
                    yourself all alone. The burpees have to be shared equally, and this is absolutely not
                    allowed for Elites & Age Group racers. It is on you to complete 30 Burpees (shared or
                    by yourself)- and you will be disqualified if the burpees are not completed. Elite & Age
                    Group racers cannot give or receive any sort of assistance during the race.

               • You only have one attempt in several obstacles- this is indicated to you in the               CHECK HERE THE
                 regulations and by the volunteers on site.                                                     OFFICIAL RULES

                We will take your time with your assigned timing chip. Wearing the timing chip
                is mandatory at any time. Otherwise, we will not be able to register your time.
                You can see your time and the result just after the race in the timing zone.
                After the race the results will be checked again and published officially on the
                website, where you can see them whenever you need them. The day after the
                event the preliminary results will be available on the website. Mid-week official
                results will be published on the web.
                If you signed up as a team, you will appear in the individual classification and
                probably in the team ranking, as long as you are a minimum of four who reach
                the goal. The results are based on the time of the fourth member to reach the
                finish line. Together we will be stronger! AROOO !!!

                PLAN YOUR NEXT RACE

                What will be your next challenge?
                Start planning your next race, you have a Spartan TRIFECTA to earn.
                Keep the spirit alive by challenging your friends to race with you.
TEAMS              10.FORM YOUR TEAM
   You can make a team and participate in any category. But remember that only in the
   Open heats is allowed the aid between racers and sharing burpees.
   The rules for team classification are as follows:
   • Any team with at least four members will be part of the team classification. It is
     not necessary to make a special registration.
   • If you want to appear in the classification, a minimum of 4 members must finish
     the race.
   • Each format (Sprint, Super) has its own ranking. All team members have to
     compete at the same distance. And they also have to compete at the same
     category (ELITE, AGE GROUP, OPEN).
   • You do not have to start all in the same heat, although the logical thing is that the
     result improves if you do.
   • A team can be composed only by women, men or mixed. There will only be one
     classification and no differences by gender.
   • The results by teams will not be known until all heats of the race are finished.
