Discover Your Sport
Endurance sports can feel overwhelming from the outside. These guides break down what each discipline actually involves so you can take the first step with confidence.
8 sports covered
A fitness race combining 8km of running with 8 functional workout stations. Think gym meets race day — in a stadium, with hundreds of athletes going simultaneously.
Swim, bike, run — back to back. The sprint distance makes it far more accessible than most people think. Three sports in one race means three movements to train and race day never gets monotonous.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
Gran fondo, century rides, and road races. Built around sustained effort and pacing judgment — as much a mental sport as a physical one over long distances.
Off-road cycling on mixed terrain — pavement, gravel, dirt — for miles. More adventure than road racing, more accessible than mountain biking.
Mud, obstacles, and miles. Spartan Race, Tough Mudder, and the toughest courses in the Midwest. Raw fitness meets mental grit in a way no other sport matches.
Open water races from 1 mile to marathon distance. No bike, no run — just you, the water, and whatever you've got left.
Run, bike, run. The multi-sport format without the swim. Two disciplines, one race — a great bridge between running and triathlon.
