For some years, the Spartan Races are “branded” with an animal each year. After the scorpion and the eagle, the time has come, in 2023, for the… leopard! An animal which amazed me, seeing his ferociousness in the documentaries. I got fascinated by this very wild cat because of his very intense temper and because…

I had a dream! To complete a Spartan Trifecta in one Weekend
It was never easy, in my mind, to go all in for any Spartan Race. Not at the beginning, in 2019, neither when I attended my first Beast in Slovakia back in 2020. My first Hurricane Heat or my first Trifecta, stretched through one single year. In 2021 followed the first Mountain Beast, at Cheile…
Stade de France, the other perspective: Champions League final 2022, Liverpool – Real Madrid
Six weeks before the Champions League 2022 final, FC Liverpool – Real Madrid, I’ve stepped on Stade de France, Saint-Denis, for Spartan Stadion. The experience, here. Now, the big match is about to be played. Everybody expected to have a pure English final, but the proverbial luck of Real Madrid played, once more, a big…
Spartan Stadium Paris (Saint-Denis, Stade de France) 2022: different experience

From that same year I’ve aimed the yellow medal of Spartan Stadion,…

I have write about some of them, yes, but I have some particular memories that deserve developed more in detail. Trust me, you’ll like them. So let’s start with the…
Spartan Year 2020
The Spartan was something I’ve confronted first time in 2019. It was a curiosity started since 2017, when I’ve been at the Zarnești Challenge. This is why, in 2019, I’ve done two Spartans, both that took place in Romania. A Super and a Sprint. But the Beast was missing to complete a Trifecta, even though…
Spartan Race 2019, Poiana Brașov
Spartan Race 2019. I dunno really why I got into it in the first place. Sure, I’ve been to Zărnești Challenge before, but this wasn’t anything like I’ve ever tried. Never been a quite sporty guy. OK, I built some stamina through kick-boxing and running for a decade now, but I wasn’t really prepared for…
