Close to public transport, with Wollongong train station approximately 1.4 kilometers away—a 20-minute walk. Additionally, a free courtesy bus operates for major events, picking up from Wollongong Station and making its way down Burelli Street to the stadium.

CARRY
ATLAS CARRY
A strength challenge that dates back +1000 years to the highland games of Scotland. Summon Celtic strength to lift a 100 lb/45 kg stone up, carry it around a flagpole, and haul it back to the start. Female competitors must carry an equally difficult 75 lb/35 kg stone.

LEAP
BOX JUMPS
Fans of functional fitness rejoyce: box jumps require full body explosive power, not just strong legs. You’ll need to use your arms and sense of balance to jump up onto the box, stand tall and extend your hips, then jump back down again 15 times.

LEAP
CORD CRAWL
Barbed-wire crawl without the barbs. This is often found in stairwells at Stadion events, making for some awkward stair climbs. Your body can touch the paracord.

AGILITY
GAUNTLET
This special Stadion-only obstacle features hanging heavy bags you must through. Choose the bulldozer method (slow) or a more nimble approach (hard), but either way the bags will be swinging all over the place, so keep your feet!

HERCULES HOIST
"Herc" is essentially a heavy sandbag attached to a rope and pulley system. Each competitor must pull on enough rope to raise the weight to the top then gently lower it back down without it free-falling.

SWING
MONKEY BARS
This thing will have you asking 6-year olds for an autograph. But these are no playground monkey bars, with drastically increased height and length and height staggered bars for Super events and upwards.

MULTI-RIG
The Multi-Rig comes in many configurations, starting with Sprint and going right up to Ultra. Sometimes you’ll encounter rings, other times rings and pipes, and sometimes ropes, baseballs, and other tricky things to grab onto.

CLIMBING
ROPE CLIMB
Gym class was nothing. At the top of the 16 ft / 4.8m rope is a bell that must be rung with your hand. All Spartan race levels feature rope climb, and it becomes progressively more difficult in cold, wet, or muddy conditions.

CARRY
SANDBAG CARRY
Spartan sandbags come in various shapes and weigh 60 lb (27 kg) for men / 40 lb (18 kg) for women. This isn't like carrying a bag of groceries.You'll usually find the Sandbag Carry on uneven ground, in mud, or if you’re particularly (un)lucky, up the side of a ski slope.

STRENGHT
SLAM BALL
The Slam Ball is a great way to destress while getting ripped. You pick up a 25 lb / 6.8 kg medicine ball over your head and slam it onto the ground, pick it up again and repeat 15 times. Stress balls are for wimps.

THROW
SPEAR THROW
The obstacle that has defined Spartan World Championships. Your challenge is to choose a spear, fire at a target 25 ft / 7.6 m away, and hope it sticks in the target without falling out. Once you try Spear Throw once you'll want to come back and try again, and it's a lot of fun.

CLIMB
WALLS
Starting at 4 feet and reaching up to 8 feet high, walls require a combination of strength, agility, coordination, and technique to scale. As always, Spartans are encouraged to attack the course together but conquer all obstacles alone, and walls are no exception.
