Weekly Update 11/13 - Race Week in Philly!!+ All Hats Shipped! + Training Group Update + Giveaway + Community Vote Tomorrow!
Helllloooo everyone!!
Happy Endorphins Monday!!!! Welcome to our 500 new members who joined in the last week! Endorphins is a running community with groups in 9 cities across the US. Despite being in different cities, we all are united by our Monday morning runs and our shared mission of spreading positivity and happiness through movement and exercise! Our runs are inclusive and everyone here knows that it is normal to show up without knowing people. With this in mind if you are a regular at our runs across the country… you know what to do… welcome our new members with open arms! If you don’t live in one of our 9 cities… that is also cool! We have tons of virtual resources for you to check out!
Race Week In Philly!
IT IS RACE WEEK in Philadelphia! On Sunday, we have 50+ members of our Marathon Training group and over 100 members of Endorphins running the Philly Marathon this weekend! LFGGG! We are still riding the high off of the Berlin, Chicago, Marine Corps, and NYC marathons… let’s carry that high with us to Philly and have an epicccc weekend. Whether you are racing… or cheering this weekend… lets bring the vibesssss!
In the global events space you can find all the events this weekend.
Also, feel free to join the race chat so you can stay up to date on all things going down throughout the weekend. i.e. bib pick up, cheer zone logistics, post race party details etc!
Merch Drop 002
We did our second merch drop last week and hats sold out in less than 90 minutes. Lol sooo epic haha. In merch vote 2, we asked what gear we should make next and the unanimous winner was sweatshirts… I have been speaking with our manufacturer and I think we can hopefully have really high end premium hoodies ready for before Christmas. We have some community members working on some fun designs and we will do another merch vote in the next week+ to decide on what we put on the hoodies! Stay tuned! Also if you are a designer and ever want to submit designs for a merch vote, message me and we can collaborate on it! Our group is community lead and being able to rep members via our merch would be really special!
Training Group Update | Endorphins 365
We are working on it! I posted a broader update about this yesterday that you can take a look at here. The tldr; Coach @Rebeka Stowe and I are putting a ton of effort in behind the scenes to figure out the best way to support Endorphins and all of our broader running goals. This is the last week of our paid 20 week marathon training group and the next logical step is to try and develop a year long training group that will guide members through any race distance regardless of your experience level. It is a tall task but it has been fun to try and put the puzzle pieces together. If you have any feedback on how we can build this out to best support you and your training needs, obviously… do not hesitate to reach out. We value your feedback and will certainly implement it!
Giveaway Time! + Community Vote Tomorrow
Last week we asked members to comment the ⚡💙 emoji on this post to be entered to win a surprise. This week, we are giving away 2 Endorphins hats from Merch Drop 002!
@Casey Nham and @Brandi Alberson you have won! DM me so we can get you sorted with some hats!!
andddd this leads us to our community vote….
Over the past 4 weeks… Endorphins has given away 40+ pairs of New Balance sneakers to our members via our weekly giveaways. I have seen so many of you repping your NB sneakers… sooo cool! These were all gifted / doinated to the group!
In tomorrow’s community vote, we will be asking you what brands you love… we will take your interest and reach out to all the most popular brands among Endorphins members to see if we can get them to donate product to Endorphins for our weekly giveaways! I am optimistic this will lead to more product support down the line!! and that would be so awesome!!
We don’t have any product to giveaway next week… but feel free to comment the ⚡💙 to send the biggest vibes to our runners racing in Philly this weekend!!
Only the best,
Tyler ⚡💙
