So glad the Spartan Race is coming to Buncombe County. If you are signing up to run the Spartan Race, please insert code BUNCOMBE and the Spartan Race will make a donation to the Buncombe County Schools Foundation! Your registration can make a difference in a child’s life. #Runforareason #BCSF
I’ve never been to one of these but I heard an interview with joe de sana, the guy who runs them. They are truly insane competitions. Only a handful of people actually finish them each time.
i’ll be signing up. been looking to transition from ultra-marathons to obstacle runs; nice to finally get one i won’t have to drive to another city for.
