Our Adventure at the Rat Race Dirty Weekend 2015

Jemma and Liam hit the Rat Race Dirty Weekend 2015


The Rat Race season continues for us and this is the second race we have done. Jemma as eager as ever was keen to see just what the main Dirty Weekend event would be like and for Liam it was a case of joining up with the marshaling team for a free weekend.

Jemma at the Dirty Weekend. Ready to be a #ratracer
We also dragged good friend Mark along for the weekend too.

Mark generally looks like this all the time!

Loads of Awesome Spartan Race Team Name Ideas

Spartan Race Team Name Ideas

Jemma and I really love Spartan Race. It's the event that got me into OCR events and for Jemma it's been a big part of her fitness journey over the last couple of years. We're not going to deny that a Spartan Race event isn't going to be tough and push you outside the comfort zone of running in the park or lifting weights in the gym but for us it has a competitive challenging element that's somewhat lacking in Tough Mudder and some other events.

Spartan Race is great individual or as a team

The joy of a Spartan Race is that despite it's individualistic nature which means it can be treated as a race there's a huge proportion of participants wanting to make their way round and experience the feel-good factor of the finishline and a nice well earned beer. For that reason if you're not contesting the elite wave and want to get a team together from your local bootcamp, school run or fancy a bachelor/ hen party with a difference it's a great time to gather a group together and go for it.

Here's a Selection of Team Name Ideas for Spartan Race and other Mud Runs

Inspired by Spartan warriors, race conditions and the infamous 30 burpee penalty for failing an obstacle.
  • Achilles Heels
  • Burpee'd Out
  • Burpee'd Off
  • Dirty 30's (Named after the number of Burpees you must complete at every obstacle failure)
  • Team Aroo (Aroo is the Spartan war cry)
