Fifty-seven-year-old Jon St. Arnaud started playing soccer in his youth and still loves it, though he retired from the game in his thirties to prioritize family. Facing health concerns in his mid-forties, he was motivated for change, and he embraced Spartan racing after a personal trainer's suggestion, reviving his competitive spirit. Two years of rigorous training and a shift in diet and lifestyle habits positioned him on podiums in various races. Despite setbacks during COVID, Jon adapted by shifting his focus to the Tactical Games, a competition originally designed to simulate combat but is much more physically demanding than the Spartan races. Jon's journey is a fantastic example of resilience, the transformative power of embracing new passions, and maintaining an active, adaptive lifestyle.
