COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Terrain: Infinity Downs and Oak Ridge Farm has seen its fair share of legends—musical legends, to be
exact, at the annual four-day LOCKN' music festival. But in 2018, these expansive grassy fields and
tortuous jeep trails make room for a new kind of legend: thousands of Spartans reaching for the
edges of possibility.
Special Gear: Racers should plan to bring appropriate fuel for their needs. No fuel will be provided
on course, only water. Hydration packs (or water containers of some variety) are strongly suggested
for all racers. Please note that shoes with spikes are not allowed.
Aid Stations: At each stop you will be able to drink as much water as you want, however we ask that
you only take one (1) cup.
• SPRINT: There will be three (3) aid stations on course with no hydration pack refilling station,
however you will be able to fill up your pack at the Start Line.
• SUPER: There will be six (6) aid stations on course with no hydration pack refilling station, however
you will be able to fill up your pack at the Start Line.
• TRAIL RUN: There will be two (2) aid stations on the 10k course with no hydration pack refilling
station and four (4) aid stations on 21k course with one hydration pack refill station.
On-Course Hydration Tips:
• Make sure to fill your pack up prior to the race.
• Make sure you carry enough water to be able to keep you hydrated between stations.
• Make sure to stop at every aid station to get water, use your pack in between.
• We highly suggest carrying some type of electrolyte drink in addition to water.
• Make sure to properly hydrate in the week leading up to the event.
