It’s the worst race organiser I ever came across a bunch of useless organisers and communication is even worse.
Never ever again register for any of their races still waiting for a refund after nearly 2 years of the initial racedate.
Highly recommend to avoid this company or whatever you wanna call it!

Spartan Race is about making money
Spartan Race is about making money - and just that. Booking fees, extra charge, no option to change a ticket, no answer to questions...
My first and last Spartan Race. Don't support it.

Horrendous Customer Service
My race format had to change because of record snow levels that covered part of the original course, which I totally understand—nothing Spartan can do about that. But I requested a refund because the new race was completely different from what I signed up for. It took a follow-up after multiple days had gone by for them to tell me they don't refund, even though the event I paid had totally changed. The only solution they offered was to change my registration for a fee of almost $40. They seriously wouldn't even waive the transfer fee to a new race when they were only holding the event in name.
This was also not my first Spartan race. I've done a race before an was incredibly underwhelmed by the poor organization, the very uninspired course, and the post-event experience. I highly recommend avoiding these races.

Whatever happens, don't miss your race. It will cost you.
Popped my hammy and won't be able to run in my destination race. That sucks, but not much I can do about it. So I went to give my tickets (1 adult, 2 kids, 1 spectator) to a friend and found that I have to pay $36.15 per ticket to transfer them. I literally cannot give what I've already paid for away without being charged again. That's absurd. But wait! It gets better. I paid just under $26/ticket for the kids race, and the spectator ticket was $20. Surely the transfer fee would be lower for these lesser-price tickets, right? Nope. $36.15 per ticket. Let's take a look at the math: that would be a $108.45 fee paid by the ticket holder (myself) to Spartan Race, Inc. to transfer three tickets I previously purchased for just under $72. All four tickets originally cost me $236.33. To transfer them, I'll have to pay an additional $144.60. Needless to say, I informed my friends I would no longer be giving them my tickets.
To Spartan Race, Inc.: I hope you invest my $236.33 wisely because it is the last of my money you will ever see. Actually, I would consider paying for one last thing. I'll pay $36.15 for an opportunity to sit face-to-face with the CEO, one executive to another, and let him try to justify this insanity.

Aus medizinischen Gründen konnte ich…
Aus medizinischen Gründen konnte ich nicht am Rennen teilnehmen. Für die Umbuchung wurden trotz rechtzeitiger Meldung vorab 30 Euro verlangt, schlussendlich wurde sie aber gar nicht gemacht und meine Nachrichten nicht beantwortet. Nie wieder!

Viele Bewertungen geben das wieder, was ich leider auch erfahren habe.
Im Grunde ein tolles Rennen und Abenteuer. Immer gut organisiert.
Aber wehe es geht was mit dem Bezahlen schief, fehlerhafte Abbuchung, Rückerstattung usw., dann hast du zu kämpfen. Du kriegst einfach keine brauchbaren Antworten (wenn überhaupt), alles ist dann sehr schleierhaft und unbefriedigend.
5 Anfragen ergeben 1 Antwort, wenn du Glück hast.

Pro tip: Choose something other than Spartan Race
For some reason, in order to transfer a ticket, you have to pay a $40, and then your friend who should use a transfer ticket, should also pay all the fees. And this sky rockets your ticket price to over $230.
And in the meantime, the customer service is rude and gives you a big "f***-you" attitude.
Wanted to celebrate my birthday in Spartan-style. Never again 🤘😁
