Event Description
LOUISVILLE - FORT KNOX SPRINT
Fort Knox is a United States Army post in Kentucky south of Louisville and north of Elizabethtown. Fort Knox’s training range complex will become the fifth Army installation to host a Reebok Spartan Race and is the third stop in our honor military series. The army installations that have already hosted Spartans on their turf include Fort Bragg, Fort Campbell, Fort Benning, and Fort Carson. Fort Knox is the perfect Spartan Race venue because of its topography and its close proximity to larger metropolitan areas. Don’t miss your opportunity to race at such a unique venue and test your skills on over 109,000 acres of rough terrain.

There’s no dress code, but you’ll be running in mud and water, climbing hills and mountains, under barbed wire and jumping fire. Our elites recommend: performance gear (NOT COTTON), water packs, compression underwear, Clif bars and energy gel. Visit shop.spartan.com to gear up for your race. Advice from experience: is to race in what you train in - new shoes on race day are NOT recommended.
