Alright September...we get it. Indy is RUNNING! 👟

No seriously, if you’re not running, volunteering, or cheering at a race on Saturdays this month, what are you doing?!

The Indy Run Down is a free monthly resource because, as Average Athletes, sometimes the hardest part of finding our next starting line is simply knowing it’s there.

Races. Run clubs. Shoe demos. Volunteering. Cheering. Here are a few ways to get out there this month.

Save it. Share it. Find your next starting line.

And don’t miss the new “My Run Down” template! I’ll add it to my Stories so you can screenshot it, fill it in and share where you’ll be running this month—or later this year.

Because, hey, our friends can always use a reminder of which mornings they need to wake up way too early to come cheer for us. 😂

🚨 reminder: I round these up for you, but I don’t manage the events! Always check directly with the event organizer for the latest details, changes or cancellations before you head out. You can get the full list with links to the events on the Team Average Athlete website - link in bio.

Am I missing something? Let everyone know in the comments!

Have fun out there! 👋

Also, I maxed out on number of tags…so please tag or share with orgs you see in here!

Chris says Average Athlete won him over with a beanie and a window decal. Years later, that decal is still on his car!

He’s been a social runner on and off since high school, but didn’t run his first marathon until 2021. After relocating, he was looking for a way to build community.

Boy, did it work.

Running introduced him to local run groups, a triathlon club, online communities across the country, and friendships that now span hundreds of miles.

Proof that sometimes the best thing you find through running isn’t a PR—it’s your people.

Right now, Chris is preparing to run a leg of Relay For America | 3000 Miles, 250 Runners, 20 Days , a cross-country relay honoring veterans from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. As a veteran himself, he’ll join the relay in Ohio. And he’s going full send with the New York City Marathon and California International Marathon this fall.

He’s also part of Team Ultra 🍻 and never misses Gasparilla race weekend. Running, pirates, costumes, friends, and post-race laughs? That’s a pretty elite combination.

Chris proudly refers to himself as the “World’s Okayest Runner” - a title average athletes can get behind.

His dream isn’t necessarily Boston. It’s to keep running long enough to be the only person left in his age group. Podium, baby! 🏆

As a disabled veteran who has undergone spinal fusion surgery, Chris has learned the importance of running smart and listening to his body. He also runs to honor the memories of friends he lost during his military service.

His bucket list still includes Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim in the Grand Canyon and Disney’s D***y Challenge.

His advice is simple: Just move.

It doesn’t matter if you’re running 8-minute or 18-minute miles. Keep going. Find community. Be an active participant in the world around you.

Chris is pure Average Athlete energy—showing up, building community, embracing the adventure, and proving that the miles matter most when they’re shared.

His personal tagline says it best:
Do Work.

If every race went perfectly...you’d have way fewer stories to tell over a post-race beverage.

The only people who never have a bad race...
are the ones who never show up to the starting line.

Listen to your body.
Trust your training.
Try again.

Most Average Athletes aren’t chasing perfection.

We’re chasing a healthier future.
We’re chasing fun.
We’re just trying our best.

And that’s more than enough reason to keep showing up.

No lifelong identity as “the athletic one”?
Perfect.

You don’t have to the best - or even your best - to be an athlete.

Average Athletes remind us to keep challenging ourselves. Keep doing the scary things.

It all started where many ideas do…in a bar.

We were talking about how we identify as average athletes - still athletes, but ones who have to go to work on Monday and just want to get down the ski mountain without a broken leg.

We wanted an athletic company to sponsor “average athletes” …specifically us. :)

That didn’t happen, but Average Athlete stuck.

We created this brand because it makes us smile and because we believe that every individual has the potential to embrace their unique athletic journey.

We want Average Athlete to make athletics feel less intimidating - and a lot more fun. From first timers to life long grinders. Average Athlete exists to celebrate anyone willing to try, show up, and keep moving alongside real life.

Welcome to the average movement!
