Spartan has only ever had three events in Perth – a Super/Sprint combo in 2013 and a Sprint in 2015. They … Continue reading Spartan Trifecta Weekend – Perth
Pre-race ramblings: Four years ago, I travelled to Melbourne with two of my best friends for the longest mud run I’d ever attempted – a 20km Tough Mudder.
