I'm in with some friends. I watched the video, and am slightly concerned I may suffer through this. haha

I'm doing it, but I have the feeling it's going to be a bit of a disappointment.

Why do you say that? Poor course or that you won't be able to finish? I'm thinking about going in it myself, kind of on the fence.

When you look at the video on the main site of the Spartan Race, it's pretty crazy. When you look at last year's Calgary event, however, it doesn't look as intimdating.

Both would be fun to try out at least once but the Calgary Spartan is a 5km race with 10 obstacles whereas the Toughmudder race is going to be about 20km race with obstacles throughout. You can get on list to register for it now and many of these sell out quickly once details become available. I think 2013 Calgary & Montreal are both firsts for this event in Canada?

Toronto has one this year in August I believe.

Poor course. Although that video makes it seem alright given it's only 5km.

Should be fun either way!

At what point do the Spartans have sex with one and other in order to build battlefield comradery?

I was too late to register and never got a spot in this race. I did Mud Hero back in July and it was frickin awesome. Girls outnumbered the guys 2 to 1, majority of them hot and just wearing a sports bra. They also had a live band and beer gardens. I highly recommend doing it next year, I will be!

Is that Nosehill Park? Looks challenging.
Damn I was hoping to see a bunch of Spartan dressed participants running wild.
