Dates: October 18–19, 2025
Location: Twin Canyons Ranch, 7631 Hayworth Hwy, Granbury, TX(Just ~1 hour from Dallas–Fort Worth, 30 minutes from downtown Granbury)
Races Offered: Sprint (5 K), Super (10 K), Beast (21 K), Ultra (50 K), Kids Race (1–3 K), plus the coveted Trifecta Pass.
What is the Spartan Trifecta?
The Spartan Trifecta challenges athletes to complete a Sprint, Super, and Beast (or Ultra) within a calendar year—or better yet, over a single weekend. Do all three in one weekend, and you earn the rare Trifecta Weekend medal, signifying elite endurance, grit, and dedication.
Why the Dallas–Fort Worth Spartan Experience Stands Out
Authentic Texas Ranch Terrain: Twin Canyons Ranch delivers rocky trails, dry creek beds, forest patches, and rolling hills—plus rustic ranch charm.
Different Elevation for Every Race: Redditors report elevation profiles: Sprint ~500 ft, Super 1,000 ft, Beast 1,800 ft, Ultra 4,000 ft—just enough high-impact challenge without extreme alpine climbs.
Parking & Logistics: Expect grass/dirt parking fields across the street; spacious but less formal—bring sturdy footwear and plan for functional parking.
“It tends to be dry and hot… hardest part is running through a dry creek bed and there is only one real hill mid course.”
Race Breakdown & Reckoning
🥉 Sprint – 5 K | ~20 obstacles
Ideal for OCR beginners, families, or seasoned racers prepping for larger distances.
🥈 Super – ~10 K | ~25 obstacles
Test your stamina against mud crawls, rope climbs, wall hurdles, and more—perfect mid-distance challenge.
🥇 Beast – ~21 K | ~30 obstacles
The ultimate half‑marathon OCR grind: expect hills, creek crossings, tire drags, and tropical Texas heat.
🔥 Ultra – ~50 K | ~60 obstacles
Go the distance: an ultra-marathon OCR hybrid—brutal elevation, varied terrain, and relentless pacing.
Kids Race – 1–3 K
No shortage of fun for future Spartans: age-tailored courses, plenty of obstacles, and first-time racer joy.
Peak Performance Tips for Dallas OCR
Train for heat and terrain – Expect sun-drenched, dry ranch trails. Include hill repeats and dry creek simulations.
Gear smart – Trail shoes with drainage, tough socks, and moisture-wicking layers. Bring backup socks for creek crossings.
Master the obstacles – Practice rope climbs, carries, monkey bars, and Burpees; every failed obstacle equals penalty reps.
Hydrate wisely – Use handheld bottles or a hydration belt on longer races.
Rest strategically – Trifectas test recovery. Sleep, roll out sore muscles, and refuel with carbs + protein between heats.
