PHASE ONE

INSPIRATION/ORIGINS

PHASE ONE//ENDURANCE FEST is more than a series of races. This is an Endurance Challenge with your name on it that lies in the core of the Phase One Mission - an invitation to train for adversity, define resilience, and find hope, leaving no one behind.

This event was inspired by witnessing runners survive the scorching heat in THE LONGEST LIGHT and battle the darkest nights in ZERO DARK ULTRA. Now it's one package of collective suffering. Hope to see you at the line!

PHASE ONE TRAINING GROUNDS

Phase One training grounds are bare bones, raw and real. Staged out of multiple areas in Spokane to include the Reardan Cross Country track in Seven Mile, Riverside State Park, and Mt Spokane State Park, all providing beautiful and challenging opportunities to forge holistic strength.

Using Endurance Fuel satisfies your caloric, electrolyte, and hydration needs. It is designed to be incredibly easy on the digestive system. The primary energy sources are dextrose (glucose) and sucrose, with a full complement of electrolytes. This approach to fueling has been the solution for many athletes, allowing them to avoid the dreaded gut bomb, bonking, and nausea that can come with more extended endurance events.
