One was at Citi Field in Queens, NY (think lots of stadium stairs) and the other out in the woods of Rutland, Massachusetts (think lots of mud and hills). Although these were both the shortest distances, the race day experiences would be very different. As a beginner, these felt like the right fit. The Spartan Sprint and Stadium Series are the shortest distances with approximately three miles of racing and 20-plus obstacles. If you’re not familiar with Spartan Races, there are four types: Sprint, Super, Beast, and Stadium Series. Icebug is driven by innovation, creativity and integrity – a passion for making functional and stylish footwear.I decided to face my fear of failure and I signed up for not one, but two, Spartan Races within about a month of each other. Icebug is a Swedish shoe brand that started to challenge the global footwear giants back in 2001. “I’m excited to work with them in using and developing the best OCR shoes the industry has ever seen.” “I’m happy to announce my sponsorship with Icebug,” said Atkins. Atkins currently races for Team Battlefrog, where he competes in obstacle course races, designed and inspired by Navy SEALs. He went on to place second at the Obstacle Course Racing World Championships as well as the Spartan Race World Champs, and has won numerous other OCR events in the last year. He’ll be introducing Icebug to the rest of the OCR world as he flies by them, faster than ever.”Ītkins comes from a background of power and balance sports such as unicycling, mountain biking, and trail running, and his overall fitness made for a quick transition into Obstacle Course Racing (OCR), where he won the World’s Toughest Mudder in 2013, and then repeated in 2014. “Ryan’s passion and will to overcome literally any obstacle thrown in his way embodies the sport of OCR. “We’re really excited to have Ryan on our team,” said Evan Wert, president Icebug USA.
