A Challenge for You!

by Saunders & Associates / Thursday, 30 July 2015 / Published in Health and Fitness
Take the Spartan Challenge

Want to get a group of your best friends into a Spartan Race? Your entry can be FREE! Read on…

Once again, I have a CHALLENGE just for YOU!

I love sports and athletics. Sure, they are fun and that is a huge part of why they are so popular – not just for professional athletes and their fans, but also for weekend warriors that love to get out there and get physical. But I also found that sports offer a great parallel to life in general. In sports, success depends on so many factors – from personal development, to planning and execution and even the role of others on your team. Sounds like life at home AND at work, doesn’t it? I believe that challenging your body through sports is an effective way to break through personal barriers and develop a winning attitude in every area of life.

Kevin played sports in college on athletic scholarship.

I grew up involved in just about any sport I could get into, and even continued playing sports during college and after in club sports, like rugby and more after graduating from college.

An inspiring story of Tragedy to Triumph

The explosion that left me paralyzed from the chest down was bad enough to make me forget it briefly, but even that couldn’t keep me from getting back into action (with a little help from my best friends). The truth is that most of my life has been spent setting athletic goals for myself and working non-stop to achieve them, and that has made my life richer in every way.

I had to come back from being caught in one of the worst explosions of its kind in US and Texas history. An explosion that propelled me 300 ft, over a 2 story building, and onto a concrete parking lot where my back was broken on impact. During my journey to becoming the World’s Greatest Wheelchair Athlete, I learned that…

“PAIN builds Courage and you can’t be a strong, brave, a champion or winner in life unless you’re willing to go through the tough times and over the obstacles to find out what you’re really capable of.”

While the nation continues to face an obesity challenge, one thing that I’m excited about is the fact that every year, more and more people are taking on fitness lifestyles and signing up for all kinds of race events, from cycling events to fun walks, races for the cure, marathons and triathlons.

One type of race that’s grown immensely is obstacle races, with names such as Spartan Race, Muddy Buddy, and Tough Mudder, held all around the country.

When you're going through Hell, keep going.

These races offer participants a chance to get off the beaten path and challenge themselves by stepping way out of their comfort zone to conquer a race course filled with obstacles, hazards and Mother Nature’s elements. If you want to confront your perception of normal living, this is hard to beat!

The folks at Spartan Race made it ridiculously easy to sign up, and right now they offer a special promotion that gives you the opportunity race for FREE when you bring 3 friends! So inspire your friends, family or coworkers and take the challenge together. You can train together leading up to the event, and make it an unforgettable day when you complete the physical challenges that the race throws at you.

Bring 3 friends and race FREE

So what do you say? Are you ready to push yourself to the finish?


About the Spartan Race:
“The Spartan Race is on a mission to get you active, healthy, excited about change, and return to our ancient roots where running through woods, getting dirty, and facing adversity was part of everyday life. Our events are all about challenging today’s perception of normal and getting you out of your comfort zone!

At Spartan Race, we do this every day and it shapes everything we do. Having experienced many different racing events, we wanted to make adventure racing more accessible to everyone, but do not be fooled by the word ‘accessible’, as our events have a challenge for everyone’s needs.”
