This year sees the long awaited return to old fan favourite and legendary OCR venue Pippingford Park. Nestled in the heart of Ashdown Forest the varied terrain of Pippingford lends itself perfectly to a Spartan race. With hills, woodland trails, rivers and lakes, there are plenty of natural obstacles for Spartan to utilise in producing a challenging but enjoyable course. The venue itself is used by the British Army for Basic Training so there really is no better proving ground for new Spartans and seasoned racers alike.
