BACK STORY

As the Covid-19 pandemic hit hard in March 2020 SPARTAN announced that all OCR events will be postponed. They realized that people will have to spend more time stuck at home during the upcoming months. And that the demand for home training and home gym equipment will increase.

The core business of the SPARTAN are obstacle course races. But besides that SPARTAN has an online store for racing and training gear and apparel with thousands of products.

And this was the perfect time to start growing this side of the business while helping the SPARTAN community to stay fit and in shape during these unprecedented times.
