Chadd 's thoughts:

Run a spartan race if you can. It is an awesome test of not just cardiac endurance but physical as well. This is a run that will test you physically more than any other road race will.

What I liked most about this run is that you got to explore Citizens Bank Park like you never thought possible. You are tested by running up each level of the park. When you reach a new level you are asked to do a physically demanding challenge. You eventually make it out to Pattison, Ave and are forced to carry heavy concrete blocks, jumping a very thick and heavy rope and don't forget all the Burpees! Towards the end you run through the players dugout and have a push up challenge right where most of the Phillies players prepare for games. Then you make your way the field itself! There are box jumps in left field, cargo net climbs at second base and a rope climb at third base.

Immediately after the race I knew I would want to do another. It is a true test of athleticism and just overall a great time. I think the fact that I got to run through a baseball stadium made it that much better. At one point I got to carry two 50 pound jugs of water through a suite. I can't say how many times in my life I will be able to get to do that again. And at the end you get a very nice shirt and two finishing medals to hang proudly.

Do a spartan race, you won't regret it.
