The event organizers have confirmed that the Indiana Trifecta Weekend will proceed as we requested. This result proves that our collective request resonates when presented clearly to the right people. Thank you for maintaining your focus on this outcome.

Whereas Indiana tends to draw a large response each year for Spartan races;
Whereas the Chicago venue has moved farther North;
Whereas the Midwest is slim on options to fulfil a trifecta in 2016;
We the people of the Midwest beseech Joe Desena and Spartan to look at the Indiana TBD venue choice closely and consider either a:
-Trifecta Weekend or
-Super/Sprint weekend

I am a working mother of 3 and find it difficult and expensive to always have to travel to further away races. I live in Chicago- lots of places out here in the Midwest!
The only thing that's been stopping me from getting a Trifecta has been the holding of a Beast close enough for me to reach. Ohio IS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH- but Indiana probably would be (just so long as it's not southern Indiana near Kentucky). Bring on the Beast and Trifecta Weekend!
It's appalling the Midwest is wide open. We travel to the East/West coast...bring events to the Midwest and the coast will certainly travel to the center. This is an area Spartan NEEDS to take a Risk on.
I had a destination wedding the same weekend of the Ohio beast in 2015. Was not able to complete my trifecta due to lack of venues in the Midwest.
A trifecta weekend would be FANTASTIC!!! I could accomplish me goal for a double trifecta this year. Without the added Super and Beast closer travel is making it not very likely. With the Indiana turnout this would be perfect!!
Need more MidwestOCR events!
This would be great for those of us who can't afford to travel all over

I just joined the corn fed Spartans and would love to do a trifecta but the venues are not close to central Indiana. Please consider having more Midwest events for the working Spartans.
