                                 Spartan's early season Arizona event delivered heat, dust, and nonstop energy as racers charged through the rugged trails of Arizona's desert terrain at Fort McDowell Rodeo Grounds. Sun-baked paths wound through towering cacti and up to stunning mesa viewpoints, offering a raw and unpredictable course that kept competitors guessing with every turn. Only at Arizona could athletes climb a  concrete Cliff Climb wall   unique to this venue, adding an unforgettable highlight to the weekend.
