South West Spartan 2025 returns on August 17, set at the legendary Badminton Estate, the birthplace of the sport of badminton, situated amid rolling fields and wooded terrain in Gloucestershire. The event offers a 5 km Sprint with 20 obstacles, ideal for first-timers and speed seekers, and a 21 km Beast with 30 obstacles, designed to test endurance and grit over a rugged countryside course. Participants also enjoy a family-friendly Kids Race over 1–3 km with scaled-down obstacles. While the venue is one of the flattest on the Spartan calendar, subtle undulations and mixed terrain keep runners engaged. The race features chip timing, a lively race village, volunteer-run stations, team and military discounts, and a welcoming Spartan community vibe.
