Dear Spartan, We Aren't Doing Burpee Penalties in 2021.

Updated: Oct 21

It's time we said no more to burpee penalties! Not because Spartan should remove them, but because we are going to get 100% obstacle completion in 2021!


Most Spartan Racers know the sinking feeling you get in your stomach when you fall from an obstacle and have to do the 30 burpee penalty. It SUCKS (especially if you are running competitively). But, we are going to do something about it! We are going to build up the strength/functionality to get 100% completion!

The majority of Spartan obstacles like; Monkey Bars, Twister, Beater, and Rope Climb require a solid amount of back, bicep, shoulder, grip, and core strength. If you are new to Spartan races or even brand new to exercise in general, it can be hard to know exactly what to do to build up the strength for these obstacles. Below we've included videos for 8 beginner, 5 intermediate, and 4 advanced exercises that you can do to build up the strength you need to get 100% obstacle completion. #nomoreburpees
