Spartan Doubles Race Format

Overview:

• What it is: Two athletes register and race together as a pair.
• Categories: Age Group and Open (not available for Spartan Kids).
• Staying together: Partners must remain close on course and start/finish within 4 seconds of each other.
• Obstacles:
  • Most obstacles: Only one partner needs to complete; if they fail, only that athlete serves the penalty.
  • Exceptions: Both must complete Spear Throw and Fire Jump. Spear miss by either = both serve the penalty.
• Timing: Each athlete wears a chip; the team’s official time is the first partner to finish (as long as both finish within 4 seconds).
• Results: Doubles Age Group pairs are ranked only against Doubles Age Group pairs. Doubles results are separate from individual Age Group results.
• Trifecta: Counts toward Trifecta and Multi-Trifecta for both individuals, if successfully completed as a doubles pair.
• Pass Usage for the 2025 test:
  • One pass in the pair (Unbreakable/Season/Trifecta): Register online as usual with your partner.
  • Both athletes have passes: Contact Customer Service for test-event registration help at [e-mail].
• Pilot/Test Event: Scheduled test at
