CLASH Endurance is a privately owned sports-media and endurance event company based in Daytona Beach at ONE DAYTONA. We're made up of experienced endurance sports and digital marketers that have a passion for building new experiences and listening to our customers.

Formerly, CHALLENGE North America, CHALLENGE Daytona and CHALLENGE Miami – CLASH Endurance is not directly affiliated with Challenge Family, PTO or any other entity.

Most of them. The traditional ones like Triathlon (Swimming, Biking, Running), Duathlon (Run, Bike, Run), Cycling, Running and interests like Mountain Biking, Gravel Biking and Trail Running. We will also be adding to our sport portfolio as we move forward.

We care. CLASH Endurance doesn’t just talk about growing the sport, supporting diversity and inclusion and providing great customer service to athletes, we do it. We respond to emails and social posts and as athletes ourselves, we understand what makes a great event. We also want to participate in the endurance community. Family isn’t just a slogan to us.

Remember when endurance sports used to be fun? That's where we come in.

Glad you asked! We currently have a variety of events, all hosted at iconic speedways with convenient camping and RV rental options. They include DAYTONA, MIAMI, ATLANTA, WATKINS GLEN and PHOENIX. We have plans to expand our race offerings and locations in the coming years.

We don't have any. What we do is unique and largely unduplicatable - with our valued partnership with NASCAR and it's venues. Long course events do not interest us - because they don't interest many of you. Someone else has done that, as have we as individuals, and it's more fun having fun than not having fun - are we right!? We prefer shorter distances with a great experience either at one of our unique venues or locations in the wilderness. Regardless you will see we don't take ourselves too seriously, we're welcoming to all people of all abilities and isn't that refreshing in this space!

Nah. What does that have to do with fun? Our events fit the venue. Some are longer than others, but we build our races for a great experience and to be athlete, family and spectator friendly.

Depends. We were officially established as CLASH Endurance, an independent company in Summer of 2021. But our team consists of experts in race operations, strategic planning, digital strategy and sponsorship and we're all athletes of varying degree - from pro to for-fun. So while we're building our brand equity and race portfolio, we have very seasoned people on staff.

PARTNERSHIPS

That's funny. We were just talking about how we'd love to partner with you! We don't do transactional - we prefer real, mutually beneficial, relationships with our partners. This can include everything from title sponsorships, sports science, digital content, television and social media collaborations. We can help you launch your product, test your product or teach people about your product or service. Let's have a chat. Email us at info@clash-usa.com

2022 level partnerships. Not the 2005 level sponsorships that other event companies offer. We're extremely creative, digitally savvy, experienced across all formats and mediums and listen you you first. We're not selling anything, we're looking for partners that wish to grow along side of CLASH Endurance. We're going to put time into understanding your objectives and customize a program that makes sense for you and your business. We don't do Gold/Silver/Bronze - we do custom.

Depends. We've seen a lot of bullying in the space and think it's lame. We want our athletes to promote their sponsorships without handcuffs. And we wish to promote our partners across our venues, TV, streaming and social media channels in very authentic formats. When a partnership warrants exclusivity, we will entertain it - but only if it doesn't hurt the sport.

It's cliche, but it's a relationship that is mutually beneficial. We want to help our partners reach new audiences, in innovative ways to grow their businesses - and we wish to do the same. We develop custom partnerships and aren't afraid to try new things. We aren't the typical cookie cutter event company. We care.
