Early humans developed the ability to sprint in order to chase down sprightly prey and invented long-distance running to escape from slowly approaching glaciers. Follow in their fossilized footsteps with this Groupon.
$49 for One Super-Spartan Mud-Race Entry (Up to $145 Value)
On October 27 and 28, 2012, participants in event T-shirts gather at the The Cliffs Off-Road Park in Marseilles before taking off on the approximately 8- to 9-mile extreme Super-Spartan race. Heats begin at 9 a.m. (with the most competitive racers generally signing up for the first time slot) and continue every 30 minutes. Parking is $10 cash (not included in the value of this Groupon).
Spartan Race
Seven extreme athletes and one Royal Marine banded together to design Spartan Race's intense miles-long course strewn with more than 15 obstacles to test resilience, stamina, and strength. Clad in event T-shirts, runners collect smudges and stains as they clamber across mud pits, slide unscathed under barbed wire, and juke feral linebackers. Upon crossing the finish line, victors are awarded a participation medal and of-age competitors sate thirsts with cold beer. The top three male and female runners each qualify for free entry to the next race level up. Combatants compare fresh battle wounds—or scars from filing folders—as a live band plays catchy tunes and the aromas of warm, savory food (available for purchase) tempt grumbling bellies.
