Our story
Built by someone
who needed this.
I didn't set out to build a website. I set out to find my next race and train for it. And every time I discovered a new sport, I had to start from scratch. Learning what was involved, how to train for it, where to find events nearby. Endurance Grid is the shortcut I never had.

How it started
The competitive edge needed somewhere to go.
HYROX · Sled Pull
Growing up, I competed in basketball. Practices, drills, games, and camps. That competitive nature was a big part of my life. When that ended, I still had that drive. The need to train for something, compete at something, push myself toward a fitness goal I cared about. I lifted weights, played intramural sports, ran, and still found myself wanting to compete further.
Half marathons were a natural first step. They were hard, they had a finish line, and they gave me something to work toward. But over time, I realized there were more options where I could mix strength training with endurance sports, or train with others like I did in basketball, which was a better fit for how I'm wired. Discovering sprint triathlons changed things. Then HYROX changed them again.
Every time I found a new sport, it happened by accident. A friend mentioned it. I stumbled across a race listing. There was no guide. No single place that said: here's what exists near you, here's what it actually feels like, and here's how to get started.
"Endurance Grid is an extension of my journey. This site is built for motivated people that want to keep learning and pushing themselves through endurance sports."
Credentials & Races
I've done the races.
I learned the methods.
These aren't recommendations from a bystander. I've done the training, learned what worked (and what didn't), and finished the race.
Along the way, I earned multiple National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) personal trainer certifications because I genuinely care about fitness, longevity, and living a healthy life.

Our mission
Help people become the healthiest, most capable version of themselves.
This isn't about a single race or a single finish line. It's an attempt to build something that didn't exist. A home for endurance athletes across every sport and every level.
The goal is bigger than any one race: we strive to help athletes build strength and endurance to stay healthy and capable for decades, not just for one season.
The person who just finished their first 5K and the person training for their third HYROX both belong here. The runner curious about triathlons and the gym athlete who's never toed a start line both deserve a guide that speaks to them directly.
We're building that. One race listing, one sport guide, one honest founder take at a time. We'd love to have you in the community.
How we deliver our mission
Athletes first. Always.
Everything we build and every recommendation we make starts with one question: does this make the lives of endurance athletes better? If not, it's not worth doing. We exist to help athletes find their sport, prepare for races, and cross the finish line.
We're part of this community
We're not covering this from the outside. We train for endurance races and toe the same start lines you do. We built Endurance Grid because we wanted it to exist for us too.
Built for discovery
Many athletes stick to the endurance sports they know, because no one ever introduced them to anything else. There's more out there. We're here to help you find new, fun, and fulfilling ways to chase your goals and stay in shape.
