about the event

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the world-renowned Summit Bechtel Reserve, the 2027 West Virginia Spartan Race unleashes an unforgiving arena designed to test your absolute limits. Famous for its world-class white-water rafting and legendary leadership-building youth scouting programs, this iconic venue pushes racers through relentless steep climbs, highly unpredictable terrain, and slick, grueling water features. As you fight through every mile, you'll charge across a massive sky-high suspension bridge that offers panoramic views of the stunning valley below—if you can spare a second to look. Lock in your spot today and prove what you're made of in the heart of West Virginia.

This weekend also features Spartan Trail Races.
