I mean... I'm not sure anyone does it like "y'all" do it in ATX. The Austin vibes are off the damn charts. The shakeout run was such a special race weekend experience and we are beyond grateful for NB, Shokz, Mush, Better Half Coffee, and everyone else who played a major role in making the weekend come to life!
Community Vote #25 - brands + partners
Today is the LAST day to vote in our 25th community vote!
For context, we are a community led organization!! We host what we call "Community Votes" to take in feedback from you and the rest of our members to ensure we are constantly growing our community with your best interest in mind. Your feedback is valued and this vote is quite important as it will have a large impact on the future direction of our organization!! If you have brands you want to see at our events moving forward, please take a minute to vote here.

Team Abbott x Endorphins | Boston Marathon Lottery
I think this may deserve multiple W's in the chat lol
Abbott, the global health company and title sponsor of the Abbott World Marathon Majors is granting Endorphins several spots on Team Abbott for the 2025 Boston Marathon presented by Bank of America. This is an insane opportunity and we are so pumped to bring this to you and our members!! Here is the link to submit your name for the lottery.
For a chance at receiving a bib to run with Team Abbott and Endorphins, we’re asking that you share why you run – if you have a story of pursuing health through running, running to overcome a health challenge – we want to know what pushes you to chase down 26.2.
To participate in the Team Abbott x Endorphins Boston Marathon Lottery - please fill out this form by Friday, February 21st - EOD.
As Boston has a strong philanthropic element, Endorphins encourages those chosen to run with Team Abbott to raise awareness and funds for a cause close to your heart. This is not required, however strongly advised.
New Balance Review Program - Sports Bras
As part of our relationship with New Balance we are given the opportunity to be part of "New Balance Review Programs" which allow Endorphins members access to new and/or unreleased products in return for a genuine product review. These reviews help the NB team iterate on future product decisions as well as live on newbalance.com to help future consumers determine which products they should purchase!
Endorphins values the concept of asking for feedback. It is engrained in how we operate and ensures we continue to grow the organization with your best interest in mind. It is awesome that we can work with a brand like New Balance that equally places a high value on feedback and cares about our communities input on the future of the brand!
We have done 2 review programs (880s, leggings) so far in 2025 and we have hit the 80% review mark on each one. In order to continue NB Review Programs we need to hit at least 80% review rate! Lets keep the ball rolling with this one!!
If you'd like to test out New Balance sports bras - fill out this link. If chosen, you will receive an email from us with more details on how you can submit your review!

Another week, another week of awesome stuff going down in the global Endorphins community.
Toss a W if you're feeling the vibes on this long weekend!
And as always,
Only the best,
Tyler
