New York City Marathon Lottery Winners

Last week we hosted a private lottery for Endorphins members to receive guaranteed entry into the New York City Marathon. Endorphins was allocated 4 bibs to give out to community members thanks to our affiliation with New York Road Runners! In Endorphins fashion, we hosted a private lottery where we received hundreds of submissions from members all across the US. The City Leads reviewed all of the submissions and were taken aback at all of your stories. We narrowed the list down to 26 members and then deliberated who should represent Endorphins on the worlds largest running stage! There are so many members who were deserving of this privilege however we could only select 4 people! I am stoked to share our selections below:

@Grace Krantz (ATX), @Kaia Haney (DC), @Tatum Lowe (Dallas), @Bronwyn (BOS) will be representing Endorphins at the New York City Marathon! Congrats!!!

Community Vote 23 - The Future of Endorphins Apparel

Last week we conducted #Community Vote #23 - The Future of Endorphins Apparel! !!

For context - Endorphins is fully community led. We host community votes on the global and city level to ensure we are constantly putting the best interest of you and our members first! In community votes we ask questions, collect answers, and then try to implement the feedback to the best of our ability!

In Vote 23 we look to your feedback on Performance Apparel products like singlets, race crops, socks, hats, and anything else you’d like Endorphins to try and create. As always, we will take your input and feedback into consideration when creating our first iteration of performance products!

Community Votes are insanely important for the future of Endorphins! Ensuring members have a voice in the direction we take the community has always been and will always remain a priority. If you haven’t had the chance to cast your vote on the future of Endorphins Apparel, you can take a look at the vote here.

Upcoming Endorphins Races - NYC and BOS

If you want to get speeeedy we are hosting two unsanctioned races in the next month. These races are different experiences are offer members a taste of something different. The thrill of night time racing.

New York City - Spin The Block

In NYC on August 1st - we have teamed up with PYNRS and AFTER:MILES to curate a co-ed team race called Spin The Block. Yup… that is right! You need to sign up as a team of three and each team must be represented by more than one gender. This is a great opportunity to meet new members of Endorphins and have a unique team racing experience.

Another note… on why Endorphins is co-hosting this event. Endorphins is an inclusive running community. PYNRS is a brand that is dedicated towards raising awareness around the lack of representation and suitable running apparel for diverse body types and stylistic preferences in the running community. The brand emphasizes community, culture, and diversity, creating high-performance running apparel that reflects streetwear design and is rigorously tested by a diverse group of athletes. PYNRS aims to reshape the running industry by centering the experiences of people of color and introducing Black ownership in the space. Being able to highlight the work that PYNRS is doing is 1000% inline with the mission of Endorphins and it is so incredible that we can merge our communities to create such an awesome event.

If you’d like to put together and register you can get all the details here.

Boston Race - The Speed Party

Boston Endorphins is hosting its first race on August 7th!!! It is an unsanctioned checkpoint race with an undisclosed route that will take participants through the city of Boston. If you live in Boston, or have friends that live in Boston… or…. if you want to travel in for the race… you can register for an entry here. Spots are limited and will be reserved on a first come first serve basis.

Summer Training Playlist Winner!

Over the last several weeks we dropped the Endorphins Summer training playlist… it is a collaborative playlist amongst city leads from across the US! Such a cool way to keep us all connected. Throughout the summer we will be adding bangers to the playlist so we can bump them on our runs. Here is a link if you’d like to save it.

Last week we voted on the name of the playlist. All the finalists for the playlist name were submitted by members of the community. And the winner is…..

About the Fresh Foam X 860v14

The Fresh Foam X 860v14 is a stability shoe. A stability shoe in running is designed to provide support and control excessive foot motion, particularly for runners who overpronate (their feet roll inward excessively). These shoes typically feature added arch support and firmer midsoles to help maintain proper alignment and reduce the risk of injury. Runners might wear stability shoes to improve their running form, prevent injuries, and enhance comfort during their runs.
