The race itself is great. The Sprint is about 4.5 miles and 20 major obstacles, which is just the right distance. Any shorter and you make it too easy for powerlifters. Any longer and endurance athletes walk away victorious.
The obstacles separate a Spartan Race from a Fun Run. They could be anything, traverse walls, rope climbs, monkey rings, monkey bars, atlas stone carry, farmers carry, fireman carry, barbed wire crawl, etc. etc. You fail an obstacle, you do burpees, a lot of burpees.
Most of the obstacles are solo challenges, but several of them are heavily facilitated by your brothers with you. For folks without .mil background, there aren't many ways where you and your mates can solve a physical challenge like this again and again
Think of it like a teambuilding exercise without feelings or trust falls, instead you have mud, spears, atlas stones, and barbed wire. After the race you strip down, shower off and celebrate with frands. @bronzeagemantis would approve.
