  Different from the regular Spartan Warriors tournament, the Spartan Warriors H3X Hurricane Tournament is a double test and baptism for the players' body and mind.

Spartan regular events require participants to have a certain physical foundation and encourage them to actively participate in sports. The continuous obstacle setting requires participants to face difficulties when encountering difficulties, constantly improve themselves, and challenge higher limits.

  The Spartan Warriors Hurricane Race is a more comprehensive test for the participants: within 4 hours, 12 hours, and 24 hours, the warriors who are divided into several groups need to fully understand the tasks assigned by the instructors to exceed the ordinary Physical fitness and willpower overcome many difficulties. At the same time, the participating warriors face many choices in the competition, whether to work hard for the individual finish or choose to fight with the team. At the 4-hour and 12-hour mark, whether to give up or persist. When faced with a stern instructor, choose to obey the rules or leave with anger.

  It is reported that in this hurricane competition, global coaches have teamed up to create almost "perverted" rules and links. For example, in the 4-hour international competition session, participants need to carry 50 kg sandbags from being lined up as straight arm planks. Teammates cross over one by one; in the 12-hour international competition session, a personal task of running around the pile with a load is set up. You must know that you must first do 30 poppy jumps before going around the pile. The difficulty of the task can be imagined; in addition to physical challenges, 24 hours The international competition session also has a great test for the participants’ brainpower. In the 150-minute running task, each person only has 1 minute to memorize their respective logos and patterns. At the end, everyone draws them correctly and completes the entire form.

  The sports expert Dangshang said frankly that he has gained a lot: "For the 12-hour hurricane race, the preparations that should be made before the race, the physical distribution during the race, the team and individual tasks, do their best without injury...within their ability, I have given my utmost sincerity. If I say regret, it is that I don’t fully understand the meaning of the hurricane, and my mind is too simple. Under the premise of abiding by the competition system, the hurricane competition is actually a contest of brain power. Brute force can’t solve it. . It is the creativity of mankind that drives the great wheel of history."

  As a "faithful fan" of Sparta, Japen has an unforgettable feeling about the Hurricane Race: "From the initial apprehension and lack of self-confidence, to the repeated thoughts of retiring in the early stage of the game, and then to the final physical exhaustion. The belief to go on, the hurricane race allows me to constantly challenge my physical limits, re-understand myself, and get out of my comfort zone. The early morning is the hardest time, when there is silence around me, and when my body and mind are at the critical point of collapse, there is only one sentence in my mind, which is certain Keep it till the end."

  The 2020 Spartan Warriors Race will continue this month: October 5th-8th Beijing Station (Children's Race), October 17th Hangzhou Station (Racing Race, Children's Race), October 24-25th Beijing Station (Racing Race, Super Race), November 7th Ningbo Station (Racing Race, Children's Race).
