The New England Spartan Super and Sprint weekend came back to Barre, MA and it felt good to be back!  Most are pretty familiar with the ~10K Super and the ~5K Sprint so those don't need too much description.

In addition to taking on both of these events though, we also completed the Teddy Bear Crawl which is a 7am wave where adults crawl the kids course to earn a kids medal and kids could bear crawl it to earn a Sprint medal!  This event is free but it is recommended to make a donation in order to help purchase teddy bears for kiddos in a local hospital!

Mike was able to talk to 25 different people on the mic and countless people off the mic across these 3 events.  These people ranging from elite athletes, weekend warriors, as well as vendors.  See specific people and brands in the time stamps below!
