Please note, this event has happened in the past.
If you’re looking to unleash your inner beast and go to places you never imagined, the Spartan Race in Big Bear Lake, CA is perfect for you. Test everything you’re made of: your strength, your endurance, your resolve. The unpredictable terrain and Spartan Obstacles are masterfully designed to push you deep into your discomfort zone, and well past those self-imposed obstacles you once considered your limits.
We're inviting all racers and spectators to join us at Snow Summit on May 17-18, 2025 for a 5K Sprint, 10K Super, and 21K Beast Spartan Race.
While the official 2025 summer season at Snow Summit, including mountain biking, Scenic Sky Chair rides, and more, won’t open until June 6, several venues will be open this weekend. Head to Big Bear Sports Shop for gear like cutoff gloves with tack, neoprene knuckle wraps, moisture-wicking apparel, and running belts with emergency mustard parts—perfect for your day outdoors. When it’s time to refuel, enjoy delicious options at Slopeside Bar, Patty Shack, Ironwood, Powerbowls at Bighorn Smokehouse, or Blues Bar.
The base area offers something for everyone, with Basecamp Activities like the Climbing Wall, Fossil Finding, Summer Tubing, Kids Full Throttle, Euro Bungee Trampoline, and Zip Line. You can also try Summit Mining Co. (separate cost) for an additional adventure. Get your all-access wristband at one of the ticket windows—activities start at 10AM. The event is open to all ages, though some restrictions apply.
Mountain Transit will be running from 6AM-10PM on Saturday and 6AM-8PM on Sunday for your convenience.
