With the NJ Ultra Beast looming over the horizon in the coming weeks, it appears that Spartan has been working hard to put more UB events into this year's lineup as well. For the first time, Breckenridge and Dallas will be venues for the UltraBeast in the US, with MANY more across the world! With all of these new venues around, you'll definitely see some major changes to our all-encompassing UB prep guide to account for some of the easier, flatter venues such as Dallas and whatever European/Australian courses have to offer. Here is the current list of venues for this year:

4-29 - NJ Tri State
6-23 - Australia (townsville)
7-01 - France
7-15 - Slovakia
7-22 - Scotland
8-05 - Hawaii
8-26 - Quebec
8-26 - Brekenridge
9-16 - Vermont
9-23 - Sun Peaks
9-30 - Tahoe
10-06 - Australia (bright)
10-28 - Dallas
12-02 - Mexico

No word on the medal design this year, but my guess is that you will likely see the generic belt buckle design with the location stamped on it as well. Nevertheless, you'll definitely see it posted here!
