From Spartan:

Spartan Media Day will kick off the 2019 Spartan US National Series and introduce the new Spartan Pro Team Roster. Athletes will be available for interviews and will demonstrate how to conquer signature obstacles, providing opportunities for media to try obstacles on the Spartan race course.

Media Day takes place ahead of the first race of Spartan’s 2019 US National Series, where the country’s best endurance athletes vie for more than $110,000 in prize money on the five-race circuit, which paves the road to the 2019 Spartan World Championship. Jacksonville’s fast and flat WW Ranch Motocross Park, a new venue for Spartan, will test athletes grit as they race across eight-miles of technical terrain and 25 obstacles on Spartan’s signature “Super” race course.

Hosted by Visit Jacksonville, Spartan’s Jacksonville Super and Sprint Weekend February 23 and 24 also offers opportunities for athletes of all ages and skill levels to hit the race course with open heats at the Super and three-mile, 20-obstacle “Sprint,” race courses. A Spartan Kids race is also offered at for youth ages four to 13.
