Spartan Race’s Unbreakable Pass NFT: Access over 450 races and bury your ashes in Sparta
Spartan Race’s new membership NFT gives access to races around the world – and to a final resting place fit for a Greek warrior.
How to get your name (and ashes) immortalized next to a statue commemorating the 300 Spartan soldiers killed in the Battle of Thermopylae? And how do you get a non-fungible token (NFT) that gives you worldwide access to obstacle courses at the same time?
Sign up for Spartan Race’s Unbreakable Pass. The obstacle course brand’s recent strange two-part NFT release consolidates both. It gives competitors a chance to be remembered as brilliantly in death as they raced through obstacle courses in life.
Spartan Race’s Unbreakable Pass is a special membership NFT. It gives you access to over 450 of the world’s “most epic” trails, obstacle courses, training challenges and cultural experiences in more than 45 countries. It also gives first-time cardholders a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity: to have their names and potentially their ashes enshrined next to a statue honoring Spartan 300 in Sparta, Greece.
Yes, you read that right. Construction will soon begin on a 35-foot statue of ancient Sparta. About 15,000 stones will surround the memorial.
Each stone will bear the name of an Unbreakable Pass holder. And 300 extra-special pass holders (those who will randomly be given “Super Rare” passes) can arrange to have their ashes buried under their stone on site.
(Though it’s unclear what’s stopping you from directing friends or family to scatter your ashes there anyway…if that’s what you really want.)
Spartan Race’s Unbreakable Passes and Events
Spartan Race’s Unbreakable Pass provides access for up to 9 more years everyone of Spartan’s global events. Three years of access comes immediately. Thereafter, passholders can unlock two additional 3-year access periods by attending all “Unbreakable Events”.
Unbreakable Events will consist of 3 days filled with training sessions from some of the world’s most elite athletes. There are also celebrations with the Spartan community and daily holidays. And Spartan’s founder, Joe De Sena, will also attend the events.
Of course, Sena has promised to commit his mortal remains to the statue site, along with his band of Spartan cyclists.
“The 300 legendary Spartan warriors who fought at the Battle of Thermopylae were focused on the here and now, and no monument was ever erected to their incredible cause,” says Sena.
“At Spartan, we are focused on the here and now. But we also establish our heritage and carry it forward into the future. The Unbreakable Pass celebrates the brave Spartan 300 soldiers and immortalizes the modern warriors who fight every day to live extraordinary lives.”
Unbreakable Pass gives access to events during Spartan Race, Tough Mudder, HIGHLANDER and other brand banners around the Earth. You can buy one with crypto on the Ethereum blockchain during a minting that ends on September 30 at 7:59 a.m. GMT (03:59 a.m. EDT). Unbreakable passes are tradable and transferable, and you can buy up to five.
