Inspired by Spartan Race - the creators of the world's most demanding obstacle course races - Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge takes team competitions to a new level.
Groups of friends, families and co-workers are put to the ultimate test as they attempt to complete a grueling half-mile Spartan course packed with never-before-seen obstacles designed to challenge the will and endurance of all who attempt it.
Shot at night with an industrial backdrop, each team will compete on one of the most punishing courses ever devised and must push through the pain to win $250,000.
In each episode, six teams of five - four athletes alongside the support of a team captain - will compete. No team can get through the course and reach the finish line without working together.
From rope-burning climbs to crawls through cold, wet mud, the competition culminates with some of the most back-breaking obstacles ever built.
Along the course teams will encounter the relentless tire swing and the dreaded slip wall, plus the debut of rigorous new obstacles that have never been seen before in any competition.
This season, decorated U.S. Winter Olympian Apolo Ohno and ESPN and radio personality Kelvin Washington will deliver the play by play action to audiences as the teams race through the demanding course.
MJ Acosta returns as a sideline reporter alongside Major League Baseball all-star Nick Swisher, who joins Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge following a 12-season career that included a World Series championship with the New York Yankees.
