Spartan Race Invades Time Square 

****

This article is about the kick-off of the popular obstacle race, known as Spartan Race in New York. It describes the types of conditions of the race and many of the obstacles. "There is fire, mud, water, barbed wire, and occasionally Hell on Earth. There WILL be obstacles to catch you off guard. Curve balls, so to speak. Get over it." This article also briefly discuses the new partnership between Reebok and Spartan Race, and how it will affect the race. This was a shorter race, as it was in downtown New York, but was still a great event for all participants.

This article has given me a little more insight on the race. Eric and I are doing one in June, so this article was very interesting to me. I have learned about the partnership between Reebok and Spartan Race, and am looking forward to what they can accomplish together. This article has made me even more excited for the race this year, and the challenges it beholds.
