Multiple Athletes raced Detroit Free Press Marathon as a part of the Elite Field, the Riverbank 25k Elite Field, and will be a part of the Elite field for the 2025 500 Festival Mini Marathon in the Spring.

CIM Documentary Filming
In collaboration with Noah Wyn, we began documenting the journey of STC athletes preparing for the California International Marathon. This project showcases the highs and lows of marathon training and what it means to be part of a team.

Partnerships and Sponsorships
Our collaboration with sponsors such as OOFOS and New Balance brought custom team gear and elevated our events, including a viewing party for an exciting running documentary. These partnerships continue to enhance our team experience.

Many of our athletes placed in the top three at several local races this year, showcasing the team’s competitive edge and love for racing. The support from teammates on the sidelines was unmatched!
