Mammoth Lakes in California will welcome the inaugural Spartan Super World Championship on October 4-5, 2025.
Mammoth Lakes and Mammoth Mountain Ski Area will be the setting for the event. Spartan notes that… ‘For the first time, the world’s top athletes will gather in the mountains to compete in the championship, with the stunning backdrops enhancing the intensity of the competition. Combining elite competition, grueling obstacles, and Spartan’s signature grit, this weekend promises to be a standout event in the global race series.’
The super distance, a challenging 10K race featuring 25 of Spartan’s signature obstacles, will take centre stage, making its world championship debut. Qualified athletes from across the globe will compete for the coveted title of world champion in the super distance, marking a new era for Spartan racing.
In addition to the Super World Championship, the race weekend will offer events for athletes of all levels. Open races will be available for the Sprint 5K, Super 10K, Beast 21K, and a Kids 1-3K event, allowing participants to experience Spartan racing without the need for qualification.
For dedicated racers, the weekend offers the ultimate challenge to complete all three races and earn a coveted Spartan Trifecta medal, seen as a top honour in the Spartan community.
Elite athletes aiming to qualify for the Spartan Super World Championship must secure a top 25 finish in any Super race between now and September 27, 2025. For other distances, a top 10 elite finish will earn qualification. Age group competitors and Open category participants do not require qualification, making the event accessible to Spartan athletes of all abilities.
Set in the heart of California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, Mammoth Lakes provides a natural arena for this race. With its rugged trails, towering peaks, and panoramic views, the terrain is as picturesque as it is challenging.
Spartan CEO and Founder Joe De Sena said “Bringing the Spartan Super World Championship to Mammoth Lakes is a monumental step forward for our sport.
“The location is world-class and the experience will be unforgettable; and it’s great to bring a championship event back to the US. These athletes have trained relentlessly, and we’re providing the ultimate stage for them to prove their strength and determination to the world.”
