AROOOO!!!!!

Spartan Race, 16th October 2011

"Spartan Sprints are muddy 5k [3+ mile] events with 10 or more obstacles. Beginners to hardcore warriors, and marathon runners alike come out to test themselves on the insane obstacles! The race is comprised of mud runs, obstacles, trail racing, physical and mental challenges."

Some members of our Elite Spartans Facebook group decided we'd take part in a Spartan Sprint and raise some money for Help For Heroes and autistic children.

We met up on a crisp Sunday lunchtime, sorted out ourselves and our paperwork, had a bit of a warm up, then set off. It was really hard both physically and mentally, but we got through it as a team, raising about £1,500 in the process for our causes.

We are already looking forward to participating in a Spartan Sprint next year!
