Meet Steffi and Karsten.
Two Spartans from Germany. One partnership. And in 2026, your Team Captains.
There's a particular kind of trust that only builds between two people who have suffered together on a course. Who have looked at each other halfway up a climb and didn't need to say a word. Who have learned, race by race, what the other person looks like when they're about to break — and what they need to hear in that moment. Steffi and Karsten have that trust.
This year, they're carrying it across borders.
From one Spartan World Championship to the next, Steffi and Karsten will travel together as Germany's Team Captains — raising their flag, racing side by side, and bringing the discipline, the warmth, and the quiet stubbornness that has defined their journey to every venue they show up at.
We're going to be there for all of it. The early mornings. The long drives. The mud. The medals. The look they share at the start line that says: ready?
Auf geht's, Steffi und Karsten. The road is yours.
