Our new partner: Gritness

by John Liska

We're very excited to announce a new partnership and a new service for our members: Gritness! We met Tommy (a Gritness co-founder) and Stephanie at Uncle Billy's last week after our run and had a great conversation about their offering. They are a young start-up company based right here in Austin, and their site + apps provide a great way for people to find new groups and athletic activities wherever they live (or work). In their own words:

"Gritness was created by athletes who were fed-up with the level of effort required to get people together for a workout. It always started with an e-mail chain, that quickly got off topic, followed by text messages, phone calls, and messenger pigeons. What if we could bring it all together? What if we could make it easy to find people that want to ride as fast as you, run as far as you, and lift as heavy as you? That’s what we built Gritness for."

And Gritness is not just for runners; they have all kinds of activities listed including: yoga, road cycling, mountain biking, swimming, and triathlon.

We encourage everyone to check out their service, sign-up, and find events. It's free! You can start by checking out the ABRC group on Gritness right now.
