KUCHING, SARAWAK: One of the most anticipated endurance sport events, The Spartan Race Sarawak supported by the Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry & Performing Arts Sarawak will be coming back to Sarawak on the 11th and 12th of June 2022 at the Agriculture Institute, Sarawak and Leadership Institute of Civil Service Sarawak. Spartan is the world’s largest obstacle course race and endurance brand with more than 250 events held in over 40 countries on six continents. It attracts more than one million participants annually across all fitness levels from beginners to the elite. The Spartan Race Sarawak was hailed as the toughest Spartan race in Southeast Asia by Spartan racers after the inaugural event held in Sarawak in 2019. This year’s race will be no different and will feature the two most popular categories, the 5km Sprint (20 obstacles) and 10km Super (25 obstacles). The Spartan Race Sarawak was originally planned to resume in April 2020 but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the race was postponed until 2022.
Every racer that completes the Spartan Race will earn themselves a unique 2022 Spartan finisher shirt and medal earned the right to be called a Spartan warrior. As of today, the number of registered participants for the upcoming race is 1,058 racers. The race is anticipated to attract 2500 participants with 1000 from outside Malaysia. The Spartan Race Sarawak 2022 will place Sarawak on the map as an international tourist destination as the event is expected to attract racers from around this region. Alongside with the race, there will also be a Spartan Asia Pacific Owners & Racers Summit conference where race owners from this region will be attending.
