Hvar might be the best Spartan Race destination on Earth – and I’ve got 21 reasons to prove it

Images from the Spartan World Championships 2025, in Hvar, Croatia.

2025 marked the second time I participated in a Spartan. The last time I did it was in 2019, on a soggy day in December. The Spartan Stadion course at Twickenham Stadium was a cool experience, but nowhere near as exciting as my latest Spartan adventure in Hvar.

It was my first time in Croatia, and I just couldn't get enough of the atmosphere and the challenge the race provided. I opted for the Super distance, which, in theory, is 10K, but in reality, was much closer to 15K with over 600 metres of elevation. Needless to say, I was completely spent by the end of the event!
