About Us
Colorado Athletics Project is a not for profit organization created to financially assist amateur athletes. Donations are used to provide quality care, coaching, nutrition and equipment to the athletes in need.
Our mission is to help uplift our athletic community, help them inspire the community and our youth, help connect like minded endurance enthusiasts, and make healthy endurance recreation accessible to all.
What We Do
Each year the Colorado Athletics Project hosts an exciting event called the Endurance Social celebrating our athletic community and to raise funds for athletes in need. Throughout the year, athletes that qualify are given access to the funds to help cover their costs of care, nutrition, coaching, and gear!
