The website for the Spartan Death Race has this to say about the event: “90% of you will not complete this endurance race. Please only consider this adventure style race if you have lived a full life to date.”
Air Force Times staff writer Kristin Davis wrote this week about one airman who is taking a second crack this brutal adventure race. Kristin writes:
Staff Sgt. Kristopher L. Cisowski spent six months in Iraq and one year in Afghanistan coordinating air strikes from the dusty, dangerous front lines of war zones.

Even those experiences could not have prepared him for the Spartan Death Race in the picturesque town of Pittsfield, Vt., in 2011. The 48-hour adventure race requires participants to chop wood, move boulders, climb rocks and swim across a frigid lake in the rain while carrying dozens of pounds of gear. Cisowski broke three toes, fractured his ankle and wondered what he’d gotten himself into.
Now he plans to do it all again June 15.
