Chris Obertlik, Team Greens+ Athlete, recently competed in the Super Spartan Race on Staten Island in New York and finished 17th out of a field of 7500.
Spartan is the King of Adventure Races, containing gruelling obstacles in mud, water, extreme weather conditions, on unruly trails and on courses with even more mind blowing mental and physical challenges than you can imagine. With 3 mile, 8 mile or 13 mile runs, Spartan Race caters to every type of person from the extreme athlete to the weekend warriors who just want an adrenaline rush. These events challenge any person to push themselves past their own limits and give an individual a true testament of what they can accomplish if they JUST DONT QUIT.
Chris says, “I have seen these races change friends and family members work ethics, life philosophies, goals, and how they approach teamwork once they complete a race. It opens up new paths and new challenges that you flat out did not know existed… are you looking to take the next step? try something new? bored? want to have fun?….want to have the greatest feeling in the world….”a sense of true accomplishment”….take it upon yourself to compete in a Spartan Race. You’ll be glad you did.”

Malibu, California – November 19
