“It is a team effort it takes a village,” O’Donnell said. The annual event is a partnership between Fort Carson DFMWR and Spartan Race, but many others on Fort Carson also play a role. “It has encouraged me to try the Sprint and Beast to earn the Trifecta.” “For years I had felt like I wanted to do this, and it felt great to complete the course,” Marrero said. Angel Marrero, a member of Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers and with 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, competed in the Spartan Race Super for the first time. Plans are underway to host all three of the events at Fort Carson in 2023, O’Donnell said. The Spartan Race has three events, Sprint, Super and The Beast, and each one awards a separate medal that, when assembled, form a larger medal. Everyone who finishes it gets the medal.” It’s the experience, the success of competing and finishing it. If you take three hours to do the course, take three hours. “The beauty of it is that you can take your time go at your level. “There are Families who come out to compete for the first time,” O’Donnell said. The athletes were of all skill levels and ages from beginner to elite and ages 50-plus to children, said Mike O’Donnell, director of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.
