about the event

Challenge yourself at one of the most demanding and rewarding courses we offer in North America at Big Bear Mountain Resort. The significant altitude, reaching 8,200 feet above sea level, adds an intense layer to this already formidable race. Prepare for relentless climbs that will test your limits in the thinner air, followed by exhilarating descents of over 1,200 feet. Conquer this extreme environment and be rewarded with expansive vistas of the Southern California landscape. This Trifecta Weekend provides the opportunity to complete the Sprint, Super, and Beast races, allowing you to earn your Trifecta and qualify for the 2026 Trifecta World Championship.

This weekend also features Spartan Trail Race.

Volunteers were super kind and helpful! Race was an absolute blast. Would have loved more vendors (cold drinks after race) and more food options

Great volunteers! Would’ve liked another nutrition/banana table.

Alexander Davies

Participated in 2024

It was my first Spartan and it was brutal and epic. I loved it, one of the best days of my life!

Erick Olmos

Participated in 2024

Very challenging event. I didn't expect the hikes to be so long, so steep, and felt never ending. I would do this again!

Earl Torres

Participated in 2024

Great venue, wish the supplements were free like before. The upward trek was HARD

Experience Big Bear Lake

The Village

Clearwater has been hailed as the top beach in the South by USA Today. Taking a refreshing ocean dip at Clearwater is the ultimate post-race cooldown option for any racer.

Hiking Big Bear Lake

Nestled in the San Bernardino National Forest, Big Bear offers over 100 miles of year-round hiking & biking trails through diverse mountain landscapes, supporting abundant wildlife and native flora.
