Pittsfield "Home of Spartan" Vermont Death Race, the legendary — but unmistakably real — event on Spartan founder Joe De Sena's farm saw four finishers: Beau Greene, Daniel Gordon, Ryan Gore, Nick Arganbright. Some of the many harrowing challenges included miles of fireman's carries, wheelbarrow crawls, overhead carries, bear crawls, a blindfolded 2500-rep workout, aqua burpees, yoke carries, riddles, a scavenger hunt through miles of mountain trails with no map, and knot-tying challenges. Oh — and of course, solving a Rubik's Cube in icy-cold water. In addition to the Death Race, a 24-hour Hurricane Heat occurred with 33 finishers that included brutal tasks like two treks to the mountain top, boat-dragging competitions, and creating various ways to move a single grain of rice. At least the weather was warm. St. Pölten, Austria They call themselves "the fittest city" and it shows. Athletes left the city behind to face forests, meadows, and rolling hills.
