Spartan — Ziems Farm, Picton / Razorback (historical)

Reports and event feedback

• the nomadic runner — relentless hills, followed by a rewarding shared finish ↗

  the nomadic runner · 2018

  Finds the hills and loaded carries exhausting, but enjoys meeting other runners, mutual assistance and the shared finish. Wet grip obstacles and repeated climbs make the outings difficult.

  The complete 2018 Super/Sprint account was read. Its footer says 23 March, while the council’s original Spartan plan specifies Saturday 24 March; that conflict is not silently erased. She removes her Elite wristband during the Super and later receives assistance, so this is not a verified Elite or all-obstacles result. Her later decision not to attempt the Hurricane Heat is not a completed event. Exact results, measurements and funding are unverified. The same writer’s Perth report is not an independent athlete, and no numerical overall is supplied.

• Matt Moore — strong event atmosphere, with delayed starts and volunteer shortages ↗

  Matt Moore / One Moore Rep coach and publisher · 2023

  Praises the setting and event atmosphere but reports a roughly forty-minute Saturday delay and unmanned obstacles amid volunteer shortages. Finds the hills and heat demanding for the field.

  This is firsthand onsite coach/publisher context, not a verified participant finish. The complete original 26 September 2023 article and embedded staff quotation were read; its precise raced weekend is not established from publication alone. Original organizer registration independently names the same 245 Picton Road property. Coaching-team interests, discount promotions and publisher affiliation qualify his assessment; reported elevations, attendance trends and results are not independently audited. The embedded Hurricane Heat staff narrative is an affiliated voice within the same publication, not another review, and linked videos are unread. No overall score is supplied.

Series

Spartan

• The council record and attached original Spartan plan explicitly date 24 March 2018 at 245 Picton Road, Razorback. The participant’s footer says 23 March, while her narrative describes Saturday; the official programme date is retained and the discrepancy remains explicit.
• The attached plan’s cover says Sprint/Beast, while the participant describes Super/Sprint. Her historical distance labels are attributed experiences rather than a claim that every programme document agrees. A later original 2023 kids registration names Ziems Farm at the same address; it corroborates property identity, not an adult raced day, distance or review.
• The 2023 coach’s report concerns a later edition with different conditions and volunteer issues. Exact individual raced days and unchanged routes are unverified. Historical feedback is not transferred to Central Coast, Wollongong or another Sydney-area venue. No current edition or native overall rating is verified.
