Are you spartan tough?

Are you spartan tough?

About 2000 competitors are heading towards Killington this weekend to participate in the first of its kind "Spartan Beast Race" at Killington.

For a little background, the Spartan Race Series is an offshoot of the popular "Death Race" held each year at Aimee Farm in Pittsfield VT. The concept is for competitors to be challenged by a obstacle course where personal injury risks are non-zero. In theory, it requires physical endurance, plus some brain power, to solve the course.

How the Spartan Race will play out at Killington is anyones guess as it is the first time for the event. Race officials are creating obstacles which are visible all over the mountain. Ranging from simple barriers to mud pits and more, modern day Spartans will be in for a challenge just running up and down the slopes of Killington.

In addition to the Spartans taking over the mountain, the "Cooler In the Mountains" Concert series features "Badfish, a tribute to sublime" this weekend. The concert starts at 3:30 PM at the K1 Base Lodge.

It all should make for an interesting weekend at Killington.

Where ever you may be, keep it in the fairway, and don't forget your sun screen!
