HISTORY

The Club was established by the coaches of Endurance Multisport, LLC, an endurance sports coaching company based in the Lehigh Valley of PA, and a group of our hardworking friends and fellow athletes who are volunteering their efforts to transform this Club from a long-held vision into a success. It’s important to note that you do NOT need to be one of our coached Endurance Multisport athletes to join the Endurance Multisport Club.

Endurance Multisport Club came to exist because even though there are a vast number of triathletes and other endurance athletes in this region, up until now no one has been able to “herd all the cats”. This is due to several reasons: the normally solitary nature of training; the geography of the Lehigh Valley, which is made up of many different suburbs and small towns as opposed to a single metro area; and the lack of sufficient time-intensive drive to create a larger club, despite some well-intentioned attempts.

We have decided to pool our collective experience and knowledge and combine this with Endurance Multisport’s business foundation to form this Club. With the generous help of everyone involved in this project, we will accomplish OUR MISSION:

To serve as the premiere multisport team in the greater Lehigh Valley
region, devoted to fostering the growth of triathlon and other endurance sports; enhancing the multisport lifestyle by providing an enjoyable forum for athletes to interact in training, competition, and social environments; improving the athlete and his or her athletic experiences through team solidarity and coaching opportunities; and supporting our national as well as neighborhood business partners, races, and other events, strengthening our local communities in the process.

WHY THE LEHIGH VALLEY?

In short, we’re here because you’re here. And because we’ve heard (and said ourselves) many, many times, “Hey, wouldn’t it be great if there were an organized [insert name of your favorite endurance sport] club around here?”

The Lehigh Valley region of PA has a very large population of triathletes and other endurance athletes. Due to its proximity to both Philadelphia and New York City, it has become the home of many people who commute to the major metropolitan areas yet choose to live in an area with a rural feel. Easy access to prime routes for cycling; trails, tracks, and paths for running; open water swimming spots; and a multitude of aquatic clubs all exist within the area. A short drive takes you to the Pocono mountains for adventure and challenging terrain, or to the beaches and bays for additional open water swimming opportunities. Add to this a world-class velodrome (Valley Preferred Cycling Center), high schools with national-caliber swim programs (Emmaus, Parkland), and a global media publisher (Rodale, Inc.) of fitness- and health-oriented books and magazines (e.g., Bicycling, Mountain Bike, Runner’s World, Running Times, Men’s Health, Women’s Health), and it’s easy to see why the Lehigh Valley has become a center of active culture.
