The endurance-focused obstacle racing series, Spartan Race, is set to kick off a new partnership with Facebook that will feature live video streaming coverage of races, starting with the Spartan World Championship.
Spartan teamed up with Facebook and its new Watch video platform to broadcast live events through the 2017 Spartan season. The Spartan Race Facebook Watch live streams will feature an array of cameras, including drone coverage, replays, play-by-play and color commentary, as well as behind-the-scenes footage. The inaugural Facebook Watch live stream event is set to cover the 16-mile, Reebok Spartan World Championship race at Squaw Valley Resort in Lake Tahoe, Calif.
