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.

In Vigo the event is held indoors, in the hall of the Instituto Ferial (IFEVI) trade fair centre. Saturday is team day and Sunday is for individual DEKA FIT and DEKA MILE.

Competing in Vigo is a weekend, not just an event

Vigo is a long way from much of mainland Spain: a flight or train, a bed nearby and the trip home on Sunday after you compete. Having it all sorted before you leave is what makes the weekend easy.

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