NBC's new "Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge" competition show premieres tonight with a $250,000 prize up for grabs.

If the show gets you feeling the mud-run urge, a slew of Spartans are coming up soon — some on or near military installations across the U.S.:

Among them:

  • Dallas — June 18
  • Diablo Grande, California — July 16
  • Fort Campbell, Kentucky — Aug. 20
  • Washington, D.C. — Aug. 27
  • Breckenridge, Colorado — Aug. 27-28
  • Fort Bragg, North Carolina — Sept. 10
  • Pala, California — Sept. 17-28
  • Wintergreen, Virginia — Sept. 24-25
  • Seattle — Oct. 22

Race fees start at $129, but Military Times readers get a 20 percent discount using the code SPARTAN20 when registering for any race.

Meanwhile, to get you inspired, NBC's, new seven-episode "Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge" series will pit six teams against each other and a grueling mile-long obstacle course.

Each team consists of two men, two women and a team captain, all of which who must work together to navigate obstacles and cross the finish line.

Expect plenty of Spartan favorites, from barbed wire-snagging mud pits and javelin throws to new twists and body-pounding turns, all culminating with what producers promise will be "one of the most arduous obstacles ever built."

And, of course, as teams progress, the obstacles will just get more punishing.

The show runs airs Mondays at 10 p.m./9 p.m. CST, just after "American Ninja Warrior."
