The Adult Team Story

S.E.T. was born from the joy of youth sports and the memories created training, traveling, and racing together. In 2022 we were approached about launching an adult race team with matching race kits to bring team spirit and camaraderie to local adult racing. We weren't ready yet, but the community was.

In 2024 we soft launched our adult team to a few friends and quickly grew to 25 team members of all levels, abilities, and backgrounds. The story we hear over and over again is, "we're tired of cliques and club politics". S.E.T. is the answer to that. We are a team and a community that supports all of our athletes.

Our adult team is coaching agnostic, so you won't experience any exclusivity. Although we partner with coaches to offer training plans and group workouts, we are not owned or run by an adult coaching business.. We are family owned and operated by athletes who work tirelessly to ensure the best for every single S.E.T. team member.

S.E.T. is going full send in 2025 with an ambitious goal to hit 100 adult members in our first full season. We have open enrollment for all of our adult teams, and we are expanding from multisport teams to include single discipline swim, bike, and run teams. We are looking for team leaders of all athletic abilities for each of our teams. Do you have a masters swim team, mountain bike group, or neighborhood run club? Join S.E.T. and we'll sponsor your group and provide 365 support.

The Teams:

Development Team (formerly Beginner Team)

The goal of the Development Team (formerly Beginner Team) is to develop athletes’ passion for triathlon and the associated endurance sports, and to help athletes develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and fitness to complete in their first season of triathlon or endurance racing, or to take help returning athletes take their performance to the next level. The "Dev" Team is best for beginner athletes who are curious about triathlon or the associated endurance sports, or those returning to the sport or who aren't ready to commit to Competitive Team or year-round coaching.

Social Team

The goal of this team is to provide athletes with an opportunity to share or grow their passion for triathlon and the associated endurance sports with other like-minded individuals and to help introduce others to endurance sports while growing the S.E.T. family. This team is best for athletes who want to keep things light and have fun while training with others.

Race Team (Application or Invite Only)

The goal of this team is to develop advanced skills and race day tactics through training and racing with likeminded teammates. This team is best for experienced racers who are proven podium finishers or with demonstrated podium potential. S.E.T. Race Team members are typically existing professional athletes or are working toward national, world, or pro card qualifications, or appropriate goals for their experience and ability.

What exactly is S.E.T.?

S.E.T. is a collective of multisport athletes, families, coaches, and business partners who love to race endurance sports and support the endurance sport community and lifestyle. We believe that keeping joy in endurance sports is critical to keeping people in the multisport and endurance sport lifestyle. Thus, our mission to provide the absolute best multisport skill development, training opportunities, and race day experiences. We believe that training and racing multisport should be fun, and after almost a decade of supporting local, regional, and national multisport training and racing, we are excited to offer that support to the S.E.T. teams.
What is the vision for the Adult Team

At the micro, our goal is to help grow a community of adults who train, race, and travel together and most of all have FUN doing endurance sports, but without the politics and cliques of some local clubs. The outcome is to build lasting relationships and memories. At the macro, we envision pairing the best aspects of the camaraderie, passion, inclusivity, and visibility of large national and regional teams, the Raceday services and support of some local teams, and the expertise and talent of some of the massive "Coaches Teams" you see. That is an ambitious goal, we know, but we believe in the value and potential impacts of this approach to revitalize multisport.
Would I fit in on a S.E.T. team?

Yes. We have a team for everyone from beginners to elites, youth to masters. Our common bond is that we LOVE to RACE, and to support those who do! We are conventional triathletes, offroad triathletes, endurance swimmers, road, mountain, and gravel cyclists, road and trail runners, swim runners, aqua bikers, and adventure racers. We are learn to swimmers and Bay Swim finishers. We are Kent Island Connectors, Century Riders, Grand Fondos, Mountain Bike Epics, and 200-mile Gravel Grinders. We are couch to 5k’ers, Boston finishers, and want to be Leadville legends. We are aspiring first time triathletes and Kona Qualifiers.
Can I join S.E.T.'s Adult Team if I already have a coach or am a member of a club?

Yes! We provide access to our coaching partners, but we are coaching agnostic. We want you to have the best coach for YOU. You can still take full advantage of our team environment, group training offerings, full race day support, and other services. We are not absolutist, and we will never contradict your coaches direction. We will support you, answer your questions, and refer you to resources. In addition, we advocate for joining a traditional triathlon club. We believe triathlon clubs are a critical social component to the overall multisport experience, and provide great benefit. We can help connect you with a club in your local area.
How did you come up with the name Syndicate Endurance Team?

This team was formed to fill serious voids in the triathlon, multisport, and endurance sports community. We strongly believe it is going to take a massive effort to grow multisport to it's full potential. We cannot do that alone and we knew we would need a collective of the brightest minds, biggest hearts, and most generous partners to support these teams of endurance athletes. They are the Syndicate!

Do I have to wear the S.E.T. Adult Kit in all of my races?

No. Of course we would love that, but we recognize folks have favorite kit brands, or prefer to wear their coaches' team kit, or local tri club kit in certain races. We support our athletes wearing the kit that works best for each of their races. However, we do have minimum season race requirements in our kit, and you are obligated to buy the S.E.T. kit when you join.
