\"Steve_Hammond\"If you want to know what to expect from a Spartan Race course, ya gotta go to the source! Steve Hammond<\/strong> is behind the scene (literally) at Spartan Race<\/strong>. His title is \u201cRace Course Manager\u201d and if you don\u2019t know him, you\u2019ve no doubt seen him blazing around the race course in his souped up off road buggy, with a beard flailing in the breeze as big as life and a smile that says it all. \u00a0He\u2019s having a hell of a good time.<\/p>\n

Steve and I met and I was sure from the first minute we would be friends. He is one of the most knowledgeable course managers in the obstacle course race<\/strong> business and he knows the competition. \u00a0In this interview, Steve and I talk about the competition how they\u2019ll fare, the race course design and the upcoming races and the formidable challenges they pose.\u00a0 If you plan on racing Palmerton<\/strong> or Asheville<\/b>\u00a0or, if you simply want an inside view-recap of Monterey<\/strong>, this is the episode for you.<\/p>\n
