Our Team Mandate
We are a group of regular people and average runners that want to encourage, support, and inspire others in the running community to keep moving forward and reaching for your personal potential.
​
You don't have to podium, be the fastest, a super athlete to race or be part of a race team.
Our team members are regular runners with the same challenges as most runners out there, like you we work, have family's, and schedule our training in-between our life commitments.
Some of us are fast and some of us are not, all of us enjoy the challenge, have fun training together, supporting each other at events and receive great joy by supporting others.
​
We all start in the same place when it comes to running, so we get you...
Keep going and celebrate every step.
