About the Event

The Endurance Performance Summit is the premier gathering for endurance athletes, coaches, sport scientists, researchers, and innovators committed to advancing the future of endurance performance.

Over three days in Austin, attendees will train together, learn from world-class experts, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships within an intimate, high-impact environment designed for real connection and practical application.

Why We Created the Endurance Performance Summit

No event currently exists that fully bridges:

  • Elite endurance sport
  • Applied performance science
  • Coaching practice
  • Athlete development
  • Human connection

The Endurance Performance Summit was created to fill that gap.

This is not a traditional conference.

It's an immersive experience built around:

  • Science-to-practice translation
  • Meaningful conversation
  • Shared training experiences
  • Fellowship within the endurance community
