Spartan – Barcelona Santa-Susanna Weekend

Santa Susanna–Barcelona Spartan Weekend 2026 brings Spartan racing back to the Catalan coast with a course built around contrasts: mountain terrain, seaside views, and a lively resort-town atmosphere under the Mediterranean sun. Located in Santa Susanna (about a 50-minute drive from Barcelona), the weekend is designed as a full Spartan adventure — whether you come for one race or to complete the Trifecta Weekend across Sprint + Super + Beast.

Expect classic Spartan intensity with a setting that mixes elevation changes, fast runnable sections, and a coastal vibe that keeps the energy high from start to finish. Add the Kids Race and open heats, and it’s a weekend that works for both competitive racers and teams coming for the experience.

Beast — 21K • 30 obstacles (Oct 17)

The Beast is the main endurance test of the weekend: longer distance, heavier obstacle load, and a race that rewards smart pacing. It’s the option for athletes who want the biggest challenge in Santa Susanna — the kind of day where consistency matters as much as strength.

Sprint — 5K • 20 obstacles (Oct 17–18)

The Sprint is the fast and punchy format — perfect for first-timers, runners who want a high-energy race, or anyone stacking a Trifecta weekend. Shorter doesn’t mean easy: 20 obstacles still demand focus, efficiency, and good transitions.

Super — 10K • 25 obstacles (Oct 18)

The Super sits in the performance sweet spot: longer than the Sprint, more demanding obstacle count, and enough distance to test endurance while still letting you race aggressively. A great choice if you want a serious effort without the full Beast load.

Kids Race — 1–3K • 10–20 obstacles (Oct 17)

The Kids Race brings Spartan energy to younger athletes with age-based distances and obstacle counts. It’s designed to be fun, safe, and confidence-building — a real race-day experience with a big finish-line moment.
