Prepare for an unparalleled challenge at the Colorado Springs Spartan Trifecta on May 31, 2026, held at the historic Fort Carson Army Base in Colorado Springs, CO. This iconic event, situated at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, offers a unique opportunity to test your limits amidst breathtaking, high-elevation terrain approximately one mile above sea level. You can choose your battle across a 5K Sprint with 20 obstacles, a 10K Super with 25 obstacles, or empower future Spartans in the 1K Kids Race.

The course at Fort Carson is renowned for its rugged trails, demanding steep climbs, and relentless elevation changes, featuring inclines of up to 35% in some sections. This challenging environment is a significant factor, with many past participants noting the altitude and heat as major tests of endurance. Typical race day conditions in late May bring highs around 78°F and lows around 49°F, with an 8% chance of precipitation, though racers should be prepared for direct sun exposure as some areas have limited tree cover, and afternoon thunderstorms have occurred previously.

As an "Honor Series" event, the Colorado Springs Spartan Trifecta delivers a distinct atmosphere, reflecting the military ethos of physical fitness and unwavering effort. Aid stations providing water will be available throughout the course, with at least one on the 5K Sprint and up to four on the 10K Super, but participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own hydration packs, energy gels, and snacks as food is not typically provided. Conquer the grit and prove your mettle on this truly inspiring and formidable course.
