Washougal Motocross Park became a playground for Spartans of all ages Saturday. Men and women crawled through miles of mud and conquered obstacles to get to the finish line.
Spartans hurdle over a fire pit and head to the finish line with smiles on their faces after a day of pushing themselves to the limit.
Adults weren't the only ones getting muddy in Washougal, as this Junior Spartan with butterfly wings can attest to.

Thousands of Spartans from all over the globe gathered at Washougal Motocross Park Saturday to conquer Horsepower Hill on their hands and knees, plunge down a 50-foot water slide, slither under barbed wire, throw a spear, scale up walls, jump over fire and cross the finish line in one piece.
“This tests your upper body, lower body and cardiovascular endurance,” said Rose Wetzel-Sinnett. “It’s the most challenging race I’ve ever done, and I love that about it.”
