RUNNERS WHO ROCK
I'm so excited to introduce you to badass runner and rocker, Joe De Sena, creator of the Spartan Race Series. A Spartan race is an adventure like no other, a trek into the unknown, with challenges that tend to push participants to a whole new level, both mentally and physically. Voted the #1 obstacle race by Outside Magazine, it is a race for men and women of all ages, shapes and sizes. The races are super intense and incredibly demanding and yet they have been successfully tackled by thousands of finishers including several who are dealing with personal challenges above and beyond a Spartan obstacle. Cancer survivors, whole families dealing with obesity, young kids with terminal illnesses and so many more have joined the Spartan movement. Joe wants to give all of the Spartan competitors a life changing event that they will never forget. And based on what I've seen and read, so far, he's been insanely successful. After learning about Joe and this amazing race series, I can not wait to Spartan up myself. Want to join me? I thought so.
Joe and his crew are giving away one free race entry* for any open heat (non-confirmed start time) in any 2014 Spartan Race in the continental US. It's quick and easy to enter below. (CONTEST OVER). Not into contests? Totally cool. You can also click here to get 15% off a race entry when you decide to sign up. Many thanks to Joe for the great prize and for taking the time to chat with RWM. Now read on to learn more about Joe and why he is a runner who rocks. AROO!* Note: Spartan race entry fees vary from $95-$125
