DEKA is Spartan’s functional fitness race: 10 zones (row, SkiErg, sled, medicine ball, box jumps…) that are the same all over the world, so your time compares with any DEKA. What changes between formats is how much you run before each zone.

Saturday packs in almost everything: DEKA FIT for teams, DEKA FIT Age Group (whose first two heats are the men’s and women’s DEKA League by Weider final), the Elite, DEKA MILE and DEKA STRONG in the afternoon. Sunday belongs to the teams.

Competing in Tenerife is a weekend, not just an event

Competing on an island is a proper trip: a flight, a transfer to your accommodation, heats on Saturday from 8:00 until late afternoon and the journey home on Sunday. That is where the weekend gets complicated.

Our packs take care of every one of those pieces, so your only worry is the next zone.
