Arete Endurance. I have loved seeing this community grow. It has been a pursuit of mine for many years; a dream to see a group committed to getting the very best out of themselves and to help others do the same. At the same time, I am coaching individually more than I ever have and am fully committed to their athletic and personal success. This has created some blurring lines and need to correct that. I would like to add tiers of membership for 2021.

The biggest plus in membership is events. Putting these on last year was a blast and want to do them better.  They are listed below. It helps us give certainty, goals to shoot for, and a lot of fun.

Another area of focus this year is youth participation. None of these tiers will have costs associated for them for youth. If you know of anyone that would like to get involved, please let me know.

Please note that the individual coached athletes have many more events than are listed below.

Thank you. Greg Penner
