Question 2

About Hurricane Heat

Accepted Answer

Hurricane Heat is a unique individual and team-building experience designed to test each athlete’s physical and mental toughness. Participants will be assigned a team upon arrival and will be expected to work together to complete any and all challenges set before them, as a team. You can’t finish alone. A balance between team building and individualism, Hurricane Heat utilizes tactics similar to those of the Special Operations groups of various Military Branches to select the most qualified Spartans to lead a team. Those who are selected and are capable of getting their squadron across the elusive finish will have earned their place among the few. Dominate the course like the good founders intended. There are no timing chips, no clock, just a fun run Spartan-style that represents what our company and our athletes are about…getting up when you’re knocked down and finishing what you start. And Burpees, lots of burpees. Must be 18 or older to participate in Hurricane Heat.
