Joe Desena (Spartan/DEKAFIT) and Troy Busot (Athlinks) discuss a new indoor timed race format featuring 5K of running and 10 functional exercises.
On January, 31, 2020 we spent an evening with the founder of Spartan Race, Joe Desena, at the Denver Broncos training facility in Denver, CO. He, along with hundreds of staff members, athletes, and local fitness supporters were there to kick off the upcoming inaugural season of DEKAFIT – the a new sport from the OG OCR company.
“Remember, Spartan had that first event. 700 people showed up. 1.3 Million people a year later across 45 countries, 275 events, so, love to have you out here.”
– Joe Desena
