COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Terrain: Welcome to Seattle, the heart of the Pacific Northwest. The Pacific Northwest offers a little
of everything in terms of terrain: mountainous trails, rolling hills, creeks, rocky byways and trees in
every direction. With so many towering trees and natural scenery as far as your eyes can see, you
won’t even know you’re so close to Seattle at this venue. If you are lucky you might get an amazing
view of Mount Rainier as well!

Special Gear: Racers should plan to bring appropriate fuel for their needs. No fuel will be provided
on course, only water. Hydration packs (or water containers of some variety) are strongly suggested
for all racers. Please note that shoes with spikes are not allowed.

Aid Stations: At each stop you will be able to drink as much water as you want, however we ask that
you only take one (1) cup.

• SUPER: There will be six (6) aid stations on course with no hydration pack refilling station, however
 you will be able to fill up your pack at the Start Line.
• SPRINT: There will be three (3) aid stations on course with no hydration pack refilling station, however
 you will be able to fill up your pack at the Start Line.

On-Course Hydration Tips:
• Make sure to fill your pack up prior to the race. You can purchase hydration packs at the Spartan
  store on race day.
• Make sure you carry enough water to be able to keep you hydrated between stations.
• Make sure to stop at every aid station to get water, use your pack in between.
• We highly suggest carrying some type of electrolyte drink in addition to water.
• Make sure to properly hydrate in the week leading up to the event.
