Join the STRIVE Racing Team

We are primarily looking for middle-distance athletes for the upcoming season, though are open to taking on long-distance athletes given sufficient interest. Tier-1 athletes will receive free racing and warm-up gear, coaching, local travel and meet expenses, and have access to weekly practices in exchange for racing and a small amount of in-person promotional work. Depending on the success of the program, athletes may receive a broader range of benefits, including shoes and non-local travel. Please email racing@strivetrips.org if you are interested in joining so we can provide you with more specifics about the group and athlete expectations.

Athletes who meet the following qualifying standards are welcome to apply for STRIVE Racing. These standards are not set in stone and athletes’ applications with times close to these standards will be examined on a case-by-case basis. STRIVE Racing is looking in particular for friendly, out-going athletes, as in-person publicity is an important responsibility of the athlete.
