Spartan Up!
Joe De Sena is the Spartan Race founder and a legend in endurance and adventure racing circles, having completed the 135-mile Badwater Ultramarathon, the 140.6-mile Lake Placid Ironman, and a 100-mile trail run in Vermont all in the same week.
What do marathoners do when 26.2 miles is no longer enough? They experiment with obstacle racing, which combines marathon endurance challenges with the mind- and body-bending rigors of overcoming obstacles along the way. Joe De Sena, the Spartan Race's driving force, is at the heart of this phenomenon. De Sena overcame his own obstacles, rising from Queens to Wall Street to become a legendary extreme athlete, by following a simple philosophy: commit to a goal, put in the work, and complete it. The Spartan Race was born from that philosophy, as it is now played out for millions of people across trails, through mud, and up mountain sides.
