Throughout the 9.6-mile Super Spartan course May 5, 2018, and the 5.1-mile Spartan Sprint route Sunday, the competitors were given a series of challenging events that were just as much a test of physical strength as mental strength, which was something Tiffany Moore said she was more than ready for. At the end of the race the competitors could barely hold back their enthusiasm or unbridled joy in their accomplishments as they made the final jump over a log ﬁre, signaling the end of their journeys. From the time the athletes left the starting line, after a pep talk and safety brief, until they reached the ﬁnish line, the athletes were challenged with hills, uneven terrain, obstacles, water and rattle snakes as they completed the event. While the training area is used for high-level military training, many members of the military and civilian communities in Colorado Springs and the surrounding area attended the race to test their athletic, physical and mental toughness. Children’s races ranged from a half mile to 2 miles and included 10-18 obstacles for ages 4-14.
