A couple years ago, a race had the start and finish running roughly parallel to each other. A guy ran for a bit, decided Spartan wasn't his thing, took a shortcut and ran through the finish line. That guy is still listed in Athlinks as getting 1st place in the open, by like a 40% margin over any other racer, including the elite racers.

The different types of Spartan Races. There are three main types of Spartan race, The Beast, The Super and The Sprint. Some locations also host an Ultra Beast. The Sprints range from 3-5 miles and have 20 – 23 obstacles. The Super is around 8-10 miles and has 20 – 29 obstacles.
It's more about your expectation that a Spartan 5k is supposed to be a 3.1 mile race. It's why they've called them Spartan Miles for years. Many would agree that expecting a Spartan race to be exactly a 5k, 10k, or 13.1 miles would be foolish. Having MUD be up to your chest or even "up to around chest level" would be an exaggeration.
To say this is more difficult is an understatement, twice the race distance is no joke. For obstacles they only add on average an additional 4 per race to come in at a 24.5 obstacle average for 2014. Beast – The Spartan Beast is the crown gem in the trifecta for most Spartan Racers.
