Welcome to The Endurance Trust!
We started in 2005 under the premise that "if you hold a torch to light another's path, you also light your own." Since that time, we have traveled down paths all around the world and have raised tens of thousands of dollars to help kids along the way.
As of July 2009, we are making bold new changes to what we do here at The Trust - we have transformed into a true resource for endurance athletes in all disciplines, of all abilities, from all nations.
The programs we have in place will help us raise money and awareness for the many causes we will be adopting. Currently we are working with the PLGA Foundation to help them find a cure for pediatric brain tumors!
We have established a member based organization with tremendous benefits. We will afford our members unique opportunities to become sponsored athletes and have their eligible race fees paid for - RACE FOR FREE! At least twice each year we will be giving away SWAG (in October 2009 a Garmin 310). Members will also be eligible for benefits and discounts through our growing list of sponsors.
To help the future endurance athletes of the world, we have established The Endurance Kids Race Scholarship Program - providing up to $500 US (in each of 6 disciplines for races over a 1 year period) for racers age 18 and under.
So, check out the site, give us your feedback, become a member. Look for the ET logo at your next race - when you see it you will know that that runner, biker or swimmer is racing for free and is helping to make a difference in the lives of kids!
Train hard and remember "Nothing Great is Easy".
