Lace up for the ultimate challenge at the Fayetteville Spartan Trifecta Event Weekend, returning to Spring Lake, NC, on May 3, 2026. Set within the expansive 1000+ acres of McCormick Farms, this race promises a thrilling test of grit and endurance across a course renowned as a Spartan staff favorite. Whether you're aiming for your first obstacle course race or chasing a new personal best, the 5K Sprint and 10K Super offer distinct challenges, packed with 20+ and 25+ signature Spartan obstacles respectively.

McCormick Farms delivers a diverse and demanding landscape, featuring dense forests, rolling hills, steep riverbanks, and even a 200-foot deep quarry. While generally flatter than some other Spartan venues, don't underestimate the "rolling" elevation and potential for significant mud, offering a classic OCR experience that balances runnable sections with technical obstacles. Runners often praise the excellent obstacle layout, with ample opportunities to push the pace. Typical race day conditions in early May see highs around 80F and lows around 57F, with a 12% chance of precipitation, so be prepared for potential heat and humidity on the course.

This event is more than just a race; it's a full Trifecta Weekend, attracting both seasoned athletes and newcomers with its festive atmosphere and strong sense of camaraderie. Beyond the challenging course, you'll find an amazing Festival area at McCormick Farms, providing a vibrant hub for racers and spectators alike. Aid stations will be available on the course to support your journey. Embrace the Carolina grit and push your limits at one of Spartan's premier East Coast events.
