To create a post-collegiate endurance racing team in Gunnison, Colorado that will achieve superior endurance ability and racing success in trail running, mountain biking, and adventure running (speed record attempts on well known, national trails) through a holistic, multi-disciplinary team approach to training by utilizing altitude at or above 7700 feet, dietetics, massage therapy, physical therapy, sport psychology, sport physiology, and consistent racing. Additionally, this holistic team approach will be education-based with support from Western State College of Colorado (WSC) via Exercise & Sport Science (ESS) student-centered sport physiology testing and GEP athlete-driven training and racing events that promote healthy, active, outdoor lifestyles.
