WHY SPARTAN RACING IS HUGER THAN...

WHY SPARTAN RACING IS HUGER THAN...

AS A STUDENT OF MARKETING, it's hard not to see it everywhere I look, in a million different organizations. Some events flourish and get huge, like the Spartan race...

... 52 weekends/year x 8-10k racers.

500,000 tickets a year.

Those are big numbers.

2 principles I've seen lately are...

  • sift quickly
  • have an enemy

... super powerful.

Sifting...

  • Do you run?
  • Do you want to do something crazy?
  • Are you cool if you're filthy, cut, and bruised?

... well, you gotta do a Spartan race.

Enemies...

  • weak
  • pudgy
  • pathetic fitness

... if you hate that stuff, you love the Spartan crowd.

See how that works?

Now, find the...

  • gear
  • event
  • challenge

... and sift quickly, while banishing anything that takes you off course.
