We are the supporters club
Welcome to the Supporters Club—a community where the heartbeat of endurance racing thrives, not just in the athletes but in the entire crew that makes each race day an unforgettable adventure. We believe that every finish line crossed is a testament to the collective spirit of athletes, supporters, crew, volunteers, and anyone who shares a passion for the journey as much as the race itself.
We are here to unite the unsung heroes of endurance sports—the supporters who cheer until they’re hoarse, the crew who strategize and problem-solve on the fly, the volunteers who give their time and energy, and the athletes who push themselves to the limit. The Supporters Club is more than just a hub; it’s a movement that recognizes the power of teamwork, the strength in community, and the joy found in every mile, whether on the racecourse or on the sidelines.
We envision a world where every athlete, whether seasoned or new, has access to a network of experienced supporters ready to help them achieve their goals. We’re building a platform where connections are made, stories are shared, and new friendships are forged. Here, everyone—whether you’re racing, crewing, or cheering—can find the resources, support, and camaraderie they need to make their endurance journey truly exceptional.
**Passion:** We live and breathe the thrill of the race and the beauty of the journey. Every early morning, every grueling climb, every cheer at the finish line is a moment we treasure.
**Community:** We believe that no one should face their race alone. The Supporters Club is where athletes and supporters come together to share their expertise, stories, and encouragement.
**Support:** From solo supporters to entire crews, we celebrate the behind-the-scenes champions who make race day possible. Their dedication is our inspiration.
**Inclusivity:** Whether you’re a seasoned xTri veteran or new to the world of endurance sports, there’s a place for you here. We’re all about making connections that matter, regardless of experience level.
**Adventure:** The race is only part of the story. We embrace the entire journey, from training days to post-race celebrations, knowing that every step, every struggle, and every triumph is worth it.
If you’ve ever handed an athlete a bottle of water at mile 50, screamed yourself hoarse at the sight of the finish line, or simply found joy in the collective effort of race day, then you’re already one of us. The Supporters Club is your home—a place to connect with like-minded individuals who get it. Together, we’ll make every race a shared victory, every journey a story worth telling.
Whether you’re looking to find a crew, offer your experience, or simply share in the community of those who love the journey as much as the race, the Supporters Club is here for you. Let’s make every mile count, together.
We value the bonds formed through shared experiences, where every race strengthens connections and creates lasting memories. In the Supporters Club, friendships are the foundation of every successful journey.
We believe that success in endurance sports is a collective effort, where everyone’s contribution is crucial. Our community thrives on the power of collaboration, ensuring that no one faces the challenge alone.
We honor the dedication of every athlete, supporter, and volunteer, recognising the effort and commitment it takes to pursue these challenges. Mutual respect is the cornerstone of our community, where every role is valued and appreciated.
We uphold honesty and transparency in all our actions, both on and off the racecourse. The Supporters Club stands for doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, because integrity is the true measure of character.
We take our roles seriously, understanding that the success of an athlete often depends on the reliability of their support team. Responsibility in our community means showing up, being prepared, and always having each other’s backs.
We celebrate the determination to push through challenges, knowing that true strength is found in persistence. In the Supporters Club, perseverance is more than a trait; it’s a way of life that drives us all to keep going, no matter what.
