Spartan has announced its virtual alternative to races that have been delayed by the Covid-19 Pandemic.

From the Spartan Website: 

Even though the Spartan season is on hold, we’re still giving you a way to race.

For every event we postpone, we’ll hold a Spartan Virtual Race — same weekend, same distance, same obstacle count. These events are open to racers around the world. No registration is required.

Each Virtual Race consists of a run or running equivalent (e.g. biking, swimming, etc.) and obstacles. Instead of cargo nets and barbed wire, you’ll take on push-ups, mountain climbers and more to finish. Earn a global leaderboard spot, virtual medal, certificate and, of course, unlimited bragging rights.

Each race has its own list of exercises and running distances (along with cardio equivalent)

Example: Spartan Sprint

THE SPARTAN VIRTUAL SPRINT CONSISTS OF A 5K RUN OR EQUIVALENT, AND THE FOLLOWING 20 OBSTACLES:

  • 10 push-ups
  • 10 burpees
  • 10 mountain climbers (per side)
  • 10 jumping jacks
  • 10 air squats
  • 10 forward lunges
  • 10 hand-release push-ups
  • 10 tuck jumps
  • 10 plank up-downs
  • 10 plank shoulder taps
  • 10 knee slap mountain climbers
  • 10 backward lunges
  • 10 glute bridge raises
  • 10 dips
  • 10 decline push-ups
  • 10 single-leg squats
  • 10 double leg calf raises
  • 10-second plank
