There are Spartan Races in 17 countries, and now a theme cruise as the obstacle race company will host a Caribbean cruise from the Port of Miami March 6 to 9, 2015.

The three-night Friday through Monday experience will feature the Norwegian Sky from Miami, a 3+mile/15+ obstacle Spartan Sprint on a private island in the Bahamas’ Great Stirrup Cay, live music, dancing, meals at select onboard restaurants, and a $50,000 prize pool.

The oceanside course will be hosted by Spartan founder Joe De Sena who will join the estimated 2,000 race enthusiasts and their families for this first-ever totally immersive island experience.

“It’s going to be as competitive as any Spartan Race, combined with a long weekend vacation in one of the world’s top travel destinations,” said De Sena. “The shorter Sprint presents plenty for the hardcore Elite to test themselves and is a good starter race for new Spartans.

“We’re going overboard on this one, packing as much as we can into three intense, but relaxing days in the sun,” De Sena said.
