"I keep my kids active by doing Spartan races together! We run as a team and our backyard OCR course is coming soon. My son is still a wee bit small to be doing hikes together, but he's coming to each race and we both go home with brass."
—Michael

“Spartan is more than an event, it is a mindset. It teaches children to look at obstacles from a different perspective. My daughter chooses to see the bright side of things, to ask for help instead of just saying she can’t do it, and to help others; her involvement with Spartan contributed to that.”
—Melanie

4 to 14-year-olds can take part without specific training. Kids need a desire to have fun and give it a go. They need not be fearless or fit; we run competitive and non-competitive waves. There are kids of all abilities and mindsets out there, and they all get to call themselves Spartans.

Spartan Kids is an all-inclusive event designed for all children to have fun and challenge themselves. Please contact our Customer Service at info@au.spartan.com if you have any questions regarding your child's participation.

Comfortable clothes suitable for exercise and sturdy footwear is all that’s needed - just be aware that your kid’s gear will get wet and muddy! Pack a hat and sunscreen if it’s hot, extra layers if it’s cold, and a change of clothes and a towel for afterwards regardless of conditions. After-race refuelling of food and drinks can be purchased in the festival.
