Indoor Cycling In 2025, our first indoor season, we have outgrown the Elkridge basement of S.E.T. H.Q. We are searching for a new Indoor Cycling location. Please contact us if you are aware of warehouse or studio space that might meet our needs. Our tax exempt charitable partners at Endure 4 All are assisting with this expansion and it's possible any rent reductions qualify as charitable contribution tax deductions.
Triathlon Race Schedule
Note: This is our preseason commitment. We will evaluate high attendance races for team attendance and do our best to have support at all local races. All races are optional. We ask our Travel team to target at least one of ECTF or Nationals and two of our five local races, and we ask our Competition team to target at least two of our five local races.
Cross Country Race Schedule
