“What I’ve always enjoyed about Spartan races is that it pushes you to see if you can do more than you think you’re capable of doing. “I love races and obstacles course races like the Spartan, (they) are so much more fun to compete in,” Moore said. Moore, a Family member, competed in six Spartan race events after being introduced to them six years ago as a spectator, when she would cheer for her husband and his fellow Soldiers. Throughout the 9.6-mile Super Spartan course May 5, 2018, and the 5.1-mile Spartan Sprint route Sunday, the competitors were given a series of challenging events that were just as much a test of physical strength as mental strength, which was something Tiffany Moore said she was more than ready for. At the end of the race the competitors could barely hold back their enthusiasm or unbridled joy in their accomplishments as they made the final jump over a log fire, signaling the end of their journeys.
From the time the athletes left the starting line, after a pep talk and safety brief, until they reached the finish line, the athletes were challenged with hills, uneven terrain, obstacles, water and rattle snakes as they completed the event. While the training area is used for high-level military training, many members of the military and civilian communities in Colorado Springs and the surrounding area attended the race to test their athletic, physical and mental toughness. Thousands of Soldiers, military members, Family members and civilians made Fort Carson Training Area 4 a personal playground May 5, 2018, and May 6, 2018, as they took part in the annual Spartan race events, to include the kids who participated in races ranging from a half mile to two miles and included 10-18 obstacles for ages 4-14.
