Glen Rose, Texas 76043
MAP & DIRECTIONSAll parking is on site. There will be a $10.00 per car (cash) parking fee collected by the venue when you park. Please don’t park on the roads or you will be ticketed. This applies to anyone (spectators, racers, King Leonidas, etc).
Race Day InformationWhat You Need To Know
When: Saturday, December 3rd, 2011
Distance: A little over 8 (relatively)
fast miles. Fastest time should be around 70 minutes. Longest
times will be over 2.5 hours. This is a chip timed event.
Start Times: Heats start at 8am with
up to 250 racers per heat and continuing every 30 minutes throughout
the day. Enter the 8am “Elite” heat if you want
to be as competitive as possible, race against the best, and
Aid Stations: Two aid stations on
course with water, maybe some other goodies. We’ll finalize
this as we get closer to race day. Carry extra hydration and
fuel if you think you might bonk or pass out from dehydration.
All Racers Receive:
- - Finishers Medal
- T-Shirt
- Free Beer ticket for anyone 21 and over
- Free Meal
- DJ Entertainment
- High pressure water to the gut
- Roasted Shoelaces
- Scrapes and Bruises
- Stories, stories, and more stories
Please note that coolers or grills are not allowed within the
main event area. Spectators are welcome (subject to same parking
fee mentioned above).
Dignified Exit Option: If you
are unsure if you can do the full course we are allowing a 'dignified
exit' at around mile 3. This will also serve as the ultimate
test of resolve for those who plan on doing the full event. Each
racer will have to confront the choice between luxury and relaxation
or facing 5 more miles of HELL. You are welcome to plan on only
doing the 3 mile section of course but the price remains the
same and you will not receive an official time. You will
still receive a T-shirt and medal (just not the same medal one
as those completing the full course).
Spectators: Spectator tickets are $15 and sold onsite
(please bring cash, limited Credit Card services are available). As a Spartan
Race spectator, you get $5 Spartan bucks redeemable at the merchandise tent,
a festival map, and rad access to some obstacles on the course, the epic Gladiator
pit and finish line, and the vendor tents!
So enjoy the live music and watching your friends and loved ones slip and slide through the Spartan
course in the safety and comfort (and relative mudlessness) of the Spartan
Race festival ground areas! Raffles, entertainment, free muddy hugs from Spartan
athletes, and all the other festival perks make this the best $15 you'll ever
spend and we promise the next ticket you will want to buy will be a race entry!
Interested in FREE parking and a FREE race entry (for you or anyone else)? Volunteer!

Race Director's NotesMessage from Mike
3/23/11: My wife and her family are from Texas. The more time I spend there the more I learn to appreciate a few key things. Specifically, Texas is big, it’s hot, and just because someone is fixin’ something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s broken. Glen Rose is home to real Dinosaur tracks, the Rough Creek Lodge, and soon thousands of Spartans fixin’ to battle this fast and fun course set around the Lodge. The first weekend in December promises awesome racing weather – much less chance of heat stroke when racing in 50 degree temps. Compared to some of our other courses this is relatively flat, but there are still some quick ups and downs, super-cool technical sections, river crossings, and big, Texas style obstacles. You will get wet, your lungs will burn, and you will have an awesome story to brag to your buddies about after finishing this course. I highly recommend grabbing one of the few rooms available at the lodge and treating yourself to a relaxing stay before and after the race. Be sure to register for the 9am heat if you want to race the best and have a shot at the title. Keep checking back for updates!

full functional body movements executed at a high intensity throughout our WODS
(Workout of the Day). Our program will deliver you a fitness level that cannot
be matched. Free classes to Spartan racers every Saturday at 9am.

4 session program geared in helping each individual achieve
optimal mental and physical toughness. Our program will
teach you how to push through barriers, how to grasp the
concept of digging deep, we will build strength, core, power
and endurance. We will give you all the tools needed in-order
to become a champion, like many other of our members. First
class will begin November 5th @ 11:15am at the X-Train Facility.
