The Virginia Spartan Event Weekend returns to Massanutten Resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains on 23-24 October 2027. The resort course runs on rocky ski-slope trails and forest singletrack, with the climbing that comes with it.
Super (10K, 25 obstacles) and Sprint (5K, 20 obstacles) run on the Saturday, and the Sprint runs again on the Sunday with Elite and Age Group waves. Kids races over 1K, 1.5K and 3K are on both days.
