Weekly Announcement 10/21 - Announcing our first pop up! + Congrats to Toronto Marathoners + Race Week in DC + Endorphins App Coming Soon!
Good morning and Happy Endorphins Monday!
The excitement is levels are pretty high this week. We have so much going on and the energy can be felt all across the US and…. Canada! Gonna dive right into it.
This probably is one of the biggest weekly announcements we’ve ever sent out lol.
BIGGG Announcement Alert…
Our second birthday is the week of the NYC marathon… and to celebrate… we are pumped to officially announce that we have our very first (temporary) home being built out for marathon weekend! Over the course of the weekend we will have a handful of events like Shakeout runs, Panels, Pasta Dinners, and post race medal portraits where you can capture a mini confetti moment with your medal (so on brand). This has been such a major project for the city leads over the past 5 months.. and we can’t wait to welcome our global community to NYC for the biggest race in the world!
We will be sending out the full list of events later in the week. We will be sending RSVP links out to Endorphins 365 members today so you can register before any of the events like the Friday Welcome (birthday) Party and Pre Race Pasta Dinner hit capacity.
Oh the other big thing about the weekend…. We will have our race day singlets and crops available for pick up and purchase in the space while supplies last. If you’ve been following our shipping and port strike saga then you know this ultimately worked out in the end :)
Lastly - thank you to New Balance and Shopify for making this weekend come to life. Run and Shop Your Way people lol.
Congrats to Toronto Marathoners
Yup… you all went hard in Toronto this weekend for the marathon. This marked our first event ever in Canada! New country unlocked for the community.
Below we have some medal pic submissions for the race… (for NYC we may need like 6 posts of medal pic submissions lol) If you work at Meta and can up our capacity on images in a coursel let us know in advance jk… but would be sick.
One race weekend seems to always lead right into another….
IT IS RACE WEEK IN DC!!
The DC city leads are putting on a big weekend for anyone hitting DC for the Marine Corps Marathon this weekend. You can see a list of all the events here.
Endorphins App Update (another big announcement)
The evolution of Endorphins 365 and our coaching program will be undergoing a major facelift in 2025. In our recent community vote we asked members if they were happy with circle, ways we can improve our coaching, and how to make virtual connection for our members more seamless.
The biggest point of feedback was we need to be able to offer a more personalized coaching experience for our runners. More individualized and optimized to the athlete.
Another huge piece of feedback has been around the spam in our race chats. While the stock advice is probably great… smh… we don’t need it and any other spam to spread positivity and happiness… lol
We took your feedback to heart and have been building the MVP of an Endorphins app that will take the best of circle, our race chats, and pair it with coaching tech that links directly to your watch / strava to provide a hyper personalized coaching experience for our runners.
The launch date will be at some point in early 2025… however as always… it is important to always be transparent with our members about what we are working on and doing. Ultimately, we make decisions based on your feedback and that is why Endorphins has grown into what it has become… we are a true community lead organization where your opinion is factored into the future direction of the community.
We have a beta testing form here. Feel free to fill it out if you want to be one of the early testers before it is officially released next year.
Ok thats a tonnnn of info…
Have a great week everyone. No giveaway today. Comment the emojis if you’re still feeling the vibes.
