After a spell of warm sunshine, the weather decided to up the ante on our 9 a.m. Spartan 300 Challenge last Saturday, April 24th with brisk temperatures and dense gray skies – even dropping some morning rain as though to dare those who might venture out.

But it was no deterrent to the hearty group of athletes who had signed up and showed up for the Spartan 300 Challenge. To all of you – you inspire us! Not only did you show up on what we hoped would be a sunny morning, but you gave it your all. Congratulations to all of you!

For those who are not familiar, this event was based on the famous workout used by Gym Jones to train the actors for the movie 300. It included six different strength and conditioning challenges separated by a half mile trail run between each set. It was not for the faint of heart and total time for the event averaged into an hour. Some serious work was put in and some serious weight was moved!

Celebrating all our athletes and their extraordinary effort, here is a rundown of total weight moved and time of event completion.

GO SPARTANS!
