Our guides cover topics ranging from choosing your first race to advanced training concepts.
Welcome! A great starting point is our Choosing Your First Race guide, followed by the Essential Gear Checklist and Building Your First Training Plan. These will give you a solid foundation.
Absolutely not! While high-end gear exists, you don't need it for your first race (or even your first few). The essentials are goggles, a bike (almost any functioning bike will do), a helmet, and running shoes. Check our Essential Gear Checklist for a breakdown of necessities versus optional upgrades. Focus on participation and learning first.
