01THE MANIFESTO
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE EXCEPTIONAL AT SOMETHING TO ENJOY TRYING TO GET BETTER AT IT.
↘We run. We ride. We lift. We golf. We train, research, buy equipment and occasionally achieve something impressive.
Peak Mediocrity Club is for the rest of the time: the slow miles, the missed putts, the questionable decisions and the tiny wins that still count.
See what gets approved →02THE DIVISIONS
Multiple disciplines.
One standard.
We are not specialists. We are committed generalists with too much kit and not quite enough ability.

A note from the field
There is no qualifying time. No minimum standard. No need to make your pace sound more impressive than it is.
Just bring the effort. We’ll take care of the paperwork.
