Just outside Charlotte and only 15 minutes from downtown Concord, Porter Farms is one of the most beloved venues in Spartan history. For years, this working farm has challenged racers with a landscape that is raw, rugged, and incredibly fun to move through.
The terrain here is the star of the show. You will charge through thick mud, weave along creek beds, cross flowing water, and power across wide open pastureland that keeps your pace changing from one moment to the next. There are no endless climbs, but the course delivers constant variety with uneven ground, rolling trails, and natural features that demand focus and grit.
All of this unfolds on a property that has become a legendary stop on the Spartan calendar. The farm’s long partnership with Spartan and the authentic character of the land make this event feel like a true return to roots, where racers can test themselves on a course shaped by nature and tradition.
