Our Mission

To give the next generation of endurance athletes a voice.

Beyond The Line was created to give young and emerging athletes the platform their stories deserve. We go beyond results and personal bests to explore the people, experiences and journeys behind the performances.

Our mission is to support the next generation of athletes by giving them greater exposure, sharing the lessons of those around them, and creating a place where young runners can learn, be inspired and see what might be possible for them.
