First-Ever Spartan Race Cruise To Private Bahamas Island

BOSTON, August 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- There are Spartan Races in 17 countries, and there are themed cruises, but never a themed Spartan Race cruise – until now. Spartan Race, the world's premier obstacle race company, will host a deluxe Caribbean cruise from the Port of Miami to a private island in the Bahamas on March 6 to 9, 2015.

The three-night Friday afternoon through Monday morning experience will feature an all-inclusive Norwegian Cruise Line cruise on the luxurious Sky from Miami, a 3+mile/15+ obstacle  Spartan Sprint on a private island in the Bahamas' Great Stirrup Cay, live music, dancing,  meals at select onboard restaurants, and what's considered best of all: a $50,000 prize pool for Elite racers.

The oceanside course will be hosted by Spartan founder Joe De Sena who will join the estimated 2,000 race enthusiasts and their families for this first-ever totally immersive island experience.

"It's going to be as competitive as any Spartan Race, combined with a long weekend vacation in one of the world's top travel destinations," said De Sena. "The shorter Sprint presents plenty for the hardcore Elite to test themselves and is a good starter race for new Spartans.

"We're going overboard on this one, packing as much as we can into three intense, but relaxing days in the sun," De Sena said.
