Reebok Spartan Race 2014 and Race Code Giveaway



Obstacle racing is becoming in-demand in many Country because of the much heightened adrenaline, muscle-burning, and the tough, heart-melting yet fun challenges of the course. One of these in-demand obstacle races since 2005 is the Spartan Raceā„¢ designed by eight ultra athletes with a simple goal of getting you off the couch, throw you in the mud and trails, and feed you one tough endurance event day that will be the adrenalin rush of your life.

Voted as the #1 obstacle race by Outside Magazine in 2012, the Spartan race obstacle course is designed to test your resilience, strength, stamina, quick decision making skills, and ability to laugh in the face of adversity. These unique obstacle courses will demand every ounce of your strength, ingenuity, and animal instinct.


If you have tried trail races, mud runs, tough mudder runs, or a warrior dash, it's time to step up to a more brutal Spartan Race obstacle course. You can tackle a Spartan Sprint, a Super Spartan, or even attempt a brutal Spartan Beast. Once you have metted yourself out from categories, challenge yourself more and check if you have the heart to graduate up to the Ultra Beast Marathon, an endurance race like NO other.

Recently, another exciting race was just announced that will host three race types and also for the Kids in one weekend -- the upcoming Hawaii Trifecta Weekend happening at Kualoa Ranch, island of Hawaii on August 16 to 17, 2014. So if you're planning a vacation, you may want to add this on your itinerary.

Spartan Raceā„¢, unfortunately is not yet available here in the Philippines, but as we all know, there are a lot of Filipinos and Challengers in many parts of the world, some of them have already experienced how to become a Spartan racer.

And to give my US readers (Filipino or not) a chance to join or redeem yourself on a Spartan race event, I am giving away TWO (2) FREE RACE CODES, courtesy of Mr. Dan Krueger of Spartan Race Inc., good for any U.S. 2014 Spartan Race.
