About the Event

Return to the brutal, authentic roots of obstacle racing at the 2026 Snow Devil Snowshoe Spartan Ultra, the original Spartan Founders event held **January 16-17, 2026**, at the historic Riverside Farm in Pittsfield, Vermont. This legendary winter challenge, dating back to 2003, strips away all frills, testing competitors against the raw demands of the Green Mountains with relentless climbs, dense "Labyrinth" spruce forests, and unforgiving snowshoe terrain. More than a race, it’s a pilgrimage to the birthplace of Spartan endurance, where every grueling step through the Vermont winter honors two decades of extreme racing heritage.

Set against the stark beauty of a Vermont January, this ultra is the ultimate test of grit for those seeking the pure, unadulterated spirit of early Spartan challenges. It’s an opportunity to join the lineage of the toughest, face the elements head-on, and earn a finisher’s badge that represents true, old-school endurance.
