Build Crew

About the role

We are Spartan Race. Our events—Spartan®, Tough Mudder®, DEKA, and Spartan Trail—are built on one powerful idea: to Change 100 Million Lives. We believe that by creating grueling challenges and transformational experiences, we help people conquer obstacles, both on the course and in their daily lives. We are a high-growth, international organization that works hard, plays harder, and redefines what it means to be part of a team. Join us in making a real impact on a global scale.
