Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, located at the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock festival, today announced the nonprofit cultural arts organization will host Spartan Race, the largest obstacle race and endurance brand in the world, on Saturday, August 22, 2020.
Spartan, with more than 250 events across more than 40 countries on six continents, will move from its previous New York location to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, located in Bethel, NY for the Tri-State New York Sprint. This race will be the first of its kind both for the site and Sullivan County. The center, with more than 800 acres of property, is known for its mud and wooded terrain, promising a race as challenging as it is beautiful and rewarding.
On August 22, the site will deliver 20 different obstacles over the course of 5K. At three miles, the Spartan Sprint is the shortest distance race offered by Spartan, but still a favorite amongst both new and returning racers. "It's the perfect distance for those looking to start their Spartan journey," explains the official Spartan website. "The Sprint also allows returning racers a manageable distance to see how far they can push themselves."
"We are thrilled to be hosting Spartan at Bethel Woods. It is a wonderful opportunity to bring new audiences to our community and the area while providing diverse offerings to our loyal fans, guests, and supporters," said Eric Frances, General Manager, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
