As you may know, I'm currently training for the Ottawa marathon and while I do so, I'm raising money for Wishes for Olivia.
Well, I'm not the only one who is using athletics to raise money for this cause!
The "Cinder-Hell-Yas" are a team of obstacle racers made up of men and women who want to honour Olivia and do something for fun and fitness at the same time. The team is captined by Olivia's mother, Jennifer White.
And this team of racers is looking to expand their races and have added Spartan Race Canada to the list of courses to conquer in 2015! The team is eying the Spartan Super distance and are training hard to get them ready for race day.
Born in Vermont, USA Spartan Race was created to bring the excitement of obstacle racing to spectators and athletes alike. That means you. With 130 events in 15 countries and 6 continents in 2014, Spartan Race is available to most everyone in the world.
Spartan Race is a true adventure that anyone can do, and everyone should try. With course lengths of 3+miles (Sprint), 8+miles, (Super) and 12+miles (Beast) each course is filled with mud, water, and signature obstacles designed to help you discover your inner Spartan. Athletes of all fitness levels will enjoy participating in a Spartan Race and the feeling of accomplishment that comes at the finish line.
Not sure you are ready to run a Spartan Race? It’s ok the race has everything you need to get you ready: guided workouts-of-the-day, nutrition tips to help you eat better, and free workouts held in cities wherever Spartan Races are organized. Spartan Race is not only the world’s best obstacle race (period), but can be a complete lifestyle overhaul.
So even if you’ve tried a trail race, mud run, obstacle race, or adventure race it’s time to try a Spartan Race. Unlike other obstacle races we offer something for everyone.
The Spartan Race contacted me and provided me with a FREE race entry for an Eastern Canadian race (Check out the race sites here)! All you have to do is reply and tell me what distance you would conquer. Contest is open to anyone and closes on Saturday May 9th 2015 at 1700. Draw will take place on May 10th.
If you can't wait to see if you've won, or if you have a team put together to tackle the challenge, you can sign up now with 15% off using the code AROO15.

I am stoked for my first Spartan (Super). Looking forward to adding it to my strange repertoire of races. Thanks for everything you do for Wishes for Olivia Nicole, we love you :)
ReplyDeleteProbably just the 5 since it would be my first obstacle race ever.
ReplyDeleteI think the 8-9 mile race seems enjoyable. Any more than that would just be torture.
ReplyDeleteI'm leery about "adventure" races, but I might try the "sprint"
ReplyDeleteI told myself I'd never do one of these things. And now I've registered myself for the Spartan Race Toronto Sprint on July 18. Worth a try! Thank you Nicole!!
ReplyDeleteIs anyone getting together to train for the race. I'm looking for buddies to run specific drills in the SquareOne Mississauga area: https://www.facebook.com/jhonattanbonilla
