Train for the Spartan at the JCC

On November 18, Fenway Park will be transformed for a world-famous Spartan Obstacle Race. You have the chance to enter this hallowed ground, where Ted Williams set records, Fisk waived the ball fair and the Idiots changed history in 2004. Now you can compete here, too...and call yourself a Spartan.

Lots of members at the JCC are forming a team to compete in the Spartan, an intense race with obstacles of mud, fire, barbed wire, water and more. We’re offering a special training class at the JCC beginning Sept 10th.

The training program runs Mondays at 7:30am, Wednesdays at 6:00pm and alternating Saturdays at 10:00am. Even if you choose not to compete in the race, you may still join the class. Start your fall with a transforming experience at the JCC and find out why we've been voted Best Health Club in the region.
