“The Spartan Race has been contested with more than 200events in 42 countries, I am pleased that six governments agencies and Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau have worked together and won the right to host the event at HuayTueng Tao, the beautiful tourist attraction in Chiang Mai. It is the first time in the history for the event to be included in the world’s sports calendar. We believe that the 
world will witness the event, which will assure the Thailand’s potential. We can build on that success to host more Asian or international sports events in the country in the future.” 

Mr. David Watson, Vice President (Products), Spartan Race Inc. said; 

“Spartan Race is the toughest and most challenging race for participants to push beyond their limits. They must overcome obstacles along the course including running on off-road terrain featuring water and mud, rope climb, crawl under wire, climb walls and so on. I believe that the Spartan Thailand 2022 Chiang Mai at Huay Tueng Tao, the tourist attraction with the lake and natural beauty in the military area, will impress all the participants. Importantly, the Spartan Thailand 2022 Chiang Mai is the first race in Thailand to be included in the SEA Regional Series along the events in Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam. The obstacle course racing is one of the sports to be contested at the Olympic Games 2024.”
