2011 was a watershed hear for Endurance Nation, as we fired up our Charity Kickstart Program, a monthly commitment to donate $250 to every single member of the Team who was racing to raise money for a cause.

Some of our members were on their way to do phenomenal things for their Charity, like John Withrow with Team ReserveAid. Others simply took advantage of our program to pull in some money for a cause that was close to their heart.

Either way, our members challenged us as coaches and leaders, and we did our best to respond. It’s with great pleasure that we can close this program for the season knowing that the Endurance Nation Charity Kickstart program donated $8,000 to 32 athletes!
