TRAIN WITH US
The Performance Project is the most complete group training experience in the area and is open to athletes of all abilities, whether you are looking to set a PR or just want to finish your first race.
We see training as more than just logging miles. That’s why we create an environment where you can truly get more from your training by putting more into it. It’s why we provide a support system to every one of our athletes that includes valuable tools that elevate your training and allow you to perform your best.
We have fun. Training can be tough, but doing it with our group turns even the most challenging runs into, well, something you might even enjoy! We are a serious program that doesn’t take ourselves too seriously. You’re guaranteed to work hard, but also to have some fun.
